Hi everyone,
I’m Jeremy from the Education team (if you’ve ever watched our Academy videos, you may have heard my voice).
Today, I am so excited to announce that our Bubble Developer Certification exam, which was previously waitlist-only, is now open to everyone!
As a reminder, this is not an exam for beginners. The exam has 90 questions (randomized from an even larger pool) that are multiple-choice, multiple-answer, or fill-in-the-blank and cover a wide range of topics related to many different aspects of the Bubble platform…
Also, please note: This exam is proctored, which means that each attempt will be recorded and analyzed by an automated platform. This lets us protect the integrity of this exam for the benefit of the entire community by making sure no one passes the exam through cheating. You can read more about our open-book and anti-cheating proctoring policies here.
If you’re ready to take the exam, here’s how to get started:
- Make sure you’re signed in with the correct account on Bubble.io. This will be the email associated with your certificate should you pass. Please also double-check that both your first and last names are set in your account details. This name must be an individual’s; we’ll consider any certificate that lists a team or organization’s name instead of an individual’s as invalid.
- Sign in to the certification platform with your Bubble account: Navigate to our certification homepage and click the “Sign in” button at the top. This should automatically use the credentials associated with your Bubble account.
- Register for Bubble Developer Certification: It costs $49 USD to register for the exam. This registration lasts three months and gives you two attempts at taking the exam.
- Take the exam: Once you’re registered, you can start the exam any time within your three-month window. After a few brief introduction messages, you’ll hit “Start,” which will begin the timer. Be sure you’re feeling ready and free from interruption.
- If you pass the exam: You’ll be one of the first members of our community to earn the official Bubble Developer Certification! Your certificate will be valid for one full year from the date you pass.
If you don’t pass, don’t worry. Your registration comes with two attempts total, so you’ll have one more opportunity to retake the exam without having to register again. You can restart immediately, or you can wait to use your second attempt later — as long as it’s within three months of the date you first registered. If you don’t pass the second time, you’ll need to wait for your registration to expire and then pay the registration fee to re-register.
To read more about the certification process, please check out our updated blog post or the Certification page.
In addition to opening up exam access, I’m also thrilled to announce we have officially launched a Certification Advisory Committee (CAC). Every six months, we’ll be inviting a handful of certified members of our community to join. They’ll help us audit new questions and be able to submit their own. The first CAC cohort has already been selected — and has already made enormous contributions to the exam. You can meet them here. And if you’d like to apply for a future cohort, reach out to certadvisory@bubble.io.
If you have any questions, please comment below (I’ll be replying all day).
Thank you,
Jeremy
