Big things are coming this spring. Appian is launching a new technical certification program to replace A-Scores. With this change comes a simpler path to certification, more meaningful examinations, and more value.
About Appian Certified Developer
This new certification program follows industry best practices for delivering a relevant certification that is trusted by employers and customers to reflect Appian knowledge and skills. The exams required to earn certification were built by subject matter experts who perform the job the exam is intended to validate. In addition, the exams are delivered in a proctored environment to ensure the integrity of the testing process.
The structure for Appian Certified Developer is similar to A-Score, with three levels that follow your career progression:
The program is exam based only. There will no longer be projects to submit or interviews to complete in order to earn an individual developer certification.
If you currently hold an A-Score, Appian will recognize it until it expires or is replaced by an Appian Certified Developer designation. We look forward to sharing more information about the new exam process in May. In the meantime, enrolling in online or instructor-led training will help you prepare to become an Appian Certified Developer.
