Exam Format Options
For each certification, candidates have three flexible exam format options:
- Complete one module-specific exam for each course module in a certification track. Recommended for those who want to progress gradually through a track and who would like to be assessed after each course module before proceeding to the next.
- Complete a single combined exam for the entire certification track. Recommended for those who want to only take a single exam that encompasses all course modules within a track.
- Complete a partial exam for a certification track. Recommended for those who have already obtained a certification and would like to achieve another certification without having to be retested on Modules 1 and 2 (because Modules 1 and 2 are common to all tracks). Partial exams only encompass the courses specific to a certification track. For example, for the Cloud Architect certification, the partial exam only encompasses topics from Modules 4, 5 and 6.
Exam Delivery Options
For each certification, candidates can take advantage of the following available exam delivery options:
- Take exams or exam retakes via Passport Global Services.
- Take exams or exam retakes via Passport testing centres or during private on-site workshops. (Note that exams taken during workshops do not need to correspond to workshop courses.)
- Take exams or exam retakes at Pearson VUE testing centres and via Pearson VUE online proctoring. Note that not all exam formats may be available via all exam delivery options. Contact your account representative to learn more about available formats and delivery options for exams you would like to take.
