I have a question about Certification For Studios.
I can see the benefit to having the Courseware available for developers within the studio, provided that it is good content that suitably up-skills the developers (somewhat of an unknown for the foreseeable future).
Other than that, though, what exactly are the intended benefits for a studio that already employs experienced Unity developers to get them ā€˜Certifiedā€™?

For a Studio, one benefit includes having the ability to assess developer competency (i.e. knowledge and skills) across several areas in order to identify strengths and areas for improvement.

Thanks for asking your questionā€¦

Does the certificate tell you anything about how well a candidate did or just that they passed?

The Exam provides this information. The Certificate demonstrates a passing result.

Hi,

I saw that there is a session in Paris (April, 26th), but I donā€™t know if iā€™ll be able to go to this one.

What will be the certificationā€™s events frequency for Paris? (once a year, every two months, ā€¦)

Thank you !

Hi Michael,

Iā€™d like to know how many questions, from the 100 that Iā€™ll have to answer, I need to get it right to be able to get the certificate.
About the certificate itself, its a virtual certificate or Iā€™ll receive a paper document?

Hey Michael, I would love to know more about the certification, specifically how long does this certification last for?

I got the exam yesterday in SĆ£o Paulo, Brazil and the test is extremely easy. It has 3 types of questions:

  1. Multiple choice
  2. Drag many subjects to its pair
  3. Select a area in an image

You need to score at least 70% in the test to be able to receive the certificate. By the end of the test, if you are eligible, you can download your certificate as PDF.

Cya :slight_smile:

Got certified at GDC last week, I was wondering if we get to ever view our exam results again, as I only got to look over which areas I did well in very briefly before having to leave the testing room so as not to bother others who had not yet finished. I didnā€™t know many of the animation and importing model areas of the test, but I rocked the rest for the most part, particularly in programming.

Itā€™s still too early to answer this question. However, we are working diligently to expand global Exam availability. Please stay tunedā€¦

The Developer level certification is valid for 2 years from the date of issue.

Firstly, congratulations to those who passed at GDC, just watched the KeyNote, well done :slight_smile:

Looking forward to this, just for my own hobbyist personal development standpoint to see what understanding iā€™ve retained.

Great stuff :slight_smile:

How easy itā€™s for a programmer to obtain the ā€œUnity Expertā€ certificate? As it covers many areas that we arenā€™t familiar with like Animation, Audio, Lighting, Material and Effects. And also I see that there are areas no Unity related that are more generic like Game Art/Design principles and Industry Awareness.

Iā€™m a 5 year experienced Unity developer (started in Unity 3).

Thanks!

While the Certified Developer program (including Exam and Certificate - and soon Courseware too!) will be challenging for many, it is not an ā€œexpertā€ level program. Please review the Website and Certification Objectives for details.

Thanks!

Got my certification yesterday on the event in Curitiba in Brazil. At the end of the exam i could download my certificate, see my grades and whatnot.

Now if i access the unityā€™s docebo portal where i can see my activities, certifications, courses, etc, i canā€™t find a place to download the pdf certificate again. Is that how it is? Itā€™s only possible to get it during the exam?
Another thing, itā€™s still not possible to find myself on the certification lookout. Just wanted to know if the system is being worked on still, or if this is an issue with my certification.
Lastly, is there a place that leads to the doceboā€™s portal, or should i save this link somewhere just to be sure i wonā€™t lose it?
