Certification Renewal - How to do that

Hi Folks,

Got a question about certification renewal. How it should be done? Is there any special path to renew the certification (Microsoft-like) or do you need to retake an exam from a scratch?

Hi @daniel_sahal For now you will have to retake the proctored exam to maintain your credential.

@APadmanabhan 
Are you planning to change that? It's really bad that you need to fully retake the proctored exam and additionally pay for that. IMO it should be more like a Microsoft approach - just do the test (not proctored) to renew.

Hello, I want to get back to this question. What is the situation after a year? Are there new option to renew the certificate? @APadmanabhan  @daniel_sahal
