The NetSuite Certification program is Oracle NetSuite's own credential family, described on NetSuite's site as officially recognizing "expertise in using and administering the NetSuite platform." It exists for two audiences: employers who want a way to identify skilled NetSuite talent and adopt the platform more successfully, and individuals who want to stand out professionally and advance their careers. NetSuite presents it as a progressive, role-based journey rather than a single exam, with tracks that move from foundational skills to advanced, professional-level expertise.
