ExploreAbout this exam
The Front-end Developer Specialist (O11 and ODC) is a Specialization exam in the OutSystems certification program. OutSystems describes Specializations as shorter exams focused on a specific topic or area, able to serve as the final outcome for a role or experience level, or as a path toward a new certification. This particular exam, per the certification page, focuses on the fundamentals of OutSystems front-end development and is targeted at front-end developers who are fairly autonomous in creating UI designs and stylings to achieve pixel-perfect web and mobile applications in both ODC and O11. Because it spans both platform generations, candidates should be comfortable with the styling and layout tooling available in each. The exam runs 90 minutes and costs $100 US. It is delivered in English, Español, 日本語, and Português (BR); note that the language selection applies only to exam content, since proctoring and support are provided in English. To prepare, OutSystems points candidates to its "How to Prepare for the Exam" guide, and recommends installing the ProProctor application and completing the system check and demonstration exam at least 24 hours before the appointment.

What you'll study
About OutSystems Front-End Developer Specialist preparation
How long is the exam and what does it cost?
The Front-end Developer Specialist (O11 and ODC) exam is 90 minutes long and costs $100 US. That places it alongside the other 90-minute Specializations, which are priced at $100, while the longer Associate Developer exams run 120 minutes and cost $200.
What language will the exam be in?
It is offered in English, Español, 日本語, and Português (BR). Your choice applies only to the exam content. Proctoring, the testing experience, and technical support are provided exclusively in English, so OutSystems expects at least intermediate English proficiency to communicate with the proctor during setup.
Who is this exam designed for?
OutSystems targets it at front-end developers who are fairly autonomous in creating UI designs and stylings to achieve pixel-perfect web and mobile applications in ODC and O11. If you still rely heavily on others for layout, styling, and screen design decisions, expect the exam to be demanding.
Is this a Certification or a Specialization?
It is a Specialization. OutSystems describes Specializations as shorter exams focused on a specific topic or area, which can act as the final outcome for a role or experience level, or as a path to earning a new certification. Certification exams, by contrast, certify proficiency levels and roles.
What is the registration and scheduling process?
Register through the OutSystems Certification Page, not directly on Prometric's site; registering there can trigger a request for an Eligibility Number you do not need. Payment is by credit card. If you see a Reschedule button instead of Schedule, you already hold an active appointment for that exam.
Can I reschedule or cancel, and what does it cost?
Rescheduling is free 15 or more days before your appointment, costs $25 USD between 14 days and 48 hours before, and is not possible within 48 hours or after the exam date. Cancellation is free with a full refund at 15+ days; between 14 days and 48 hours a $25 USD fee applies. Inside 48 hours, exams cannot be canceled.
What do I need installed before exam day?
The ProProctor application is mandatory; without it you cannot launch your session. OutSystems recommends installing it and running the system check and demonstration exam at least 24 hours before your appointment, and Google Chrome is the recommended browser. The Launch button becomes active 15 to 30 minutes before your scheduled time.
What ID must I present, and does my name have to match?
Bring a physical, government-issued ID with your name and a recognizable photo; digital documents are not accepted. Passport, national or state ID, driver's license, and alien registration card are listed as acceptable. Your registration name must exactly match the ID, so update your Community profile before scheduling if it differs.
How do I get my results, and can they be re-scored?
Results are emailed immediately after the session under the subject line "Your Certification Exam Report is Available"; you can also generate the report through Prometric's score portal. OutSystems does not offer a review or re-scoring service, and all scores are final. The report highlights the topics where questions were answered incorrectly.
How should I structure my study time?
Read the "How to Prepare for the Exam" guide first, since OutSystems flags it as the source of important exam-day information. Then focus on pixel-perfect UI design and styling across both ODC and O11, because the exam explicitly spans both. Finish by completing the demonstration exam so exam-day logistics do not cost you time.
