ExploreAbout this exam
The Mobile Developer Specialist is one of the Specialization exams in the OutSystems certification program, which the vendor describes as built to foster an ecosystem of skilled professionals who deliver high-end quality solutions by certifying individuals on knowledge and real-world project experience. Unlike the longer Certification exams, Specializations are shorter exams focused on a specific topic or area, and a Specialization can serve as the final outcome for a role or experience level, or as a path to a new certification. This one is listed as "Mobile Developer Specialist (O11 and ODC)" and is described as focusing on OutSystems mobile development-specific topics. It is targeted at OutSystems developers who go beyond the fundamentals and develop native mobile apps with offline scenarios, and OutSystems positions it as an important step to becoming a certified OutSystems 11 and ODC Professional Developer. The exam runs 60 minutes and is offered in English, Español, 日本語, and Português (BR); only the exam content is translated, since proctoring and support are provided in English. The fee is $100 US. Preparation guidance comes from the vendor's "How to Prepare for the Exam" guide, which covers remote testing versus a test center, getting yourself and your testing area ready, and what to expect on exam day, plus the Learn page resources such as Boot Camps and Guided Paths.

What you'll study
About OutSystems Mobile Developer Specialist preparation
How long is the exam and what does it cost?
OutSystems lists the Mobile Developer Specialist (O11 and ODC) at 60 minutes with a fee of $100 US. That makes it one of the shorter Specialization exams on the certification page, where several other Specializations are listed at 90 minutes and the Associate Developer exams at 120 minutes.
What is the difference between a Certification and a Specialization exam?
Per OutSystems, Certification exams certify individuals and teams as OutSystems professionals for different proficiency levels and roles. Specializations are shorter exams focused on a specific topic or area, and can act as the final outcome for a role or experience level or as a path to a new certification. This mobile exam is a Specialization.
Who should take this exam?
OutSystems targets it at developers who go beyond the fundamentals and build native mobile apps with offline scenarios, and calls it an important step to becoming a certified OutSystems 11 and ODC Professional Developer. If you have only built simple mobile screens without offline data handling, you are probably not ready yet.
In which languages is the exam available, and is proctoring translated?
The exam is offered in English, Español, 日本語, and Português (BR). Your language choice applies only to exam content: experience, proctoring, and technical support are provided exclusively in English, and OutSystems states candidates need at least intermediate English to communicate with the proctor.
Remote or test center - can I switch after booking?
Yes, but you must first cancel the existing appointment and register again, choosing Online or Certification Center during the new registration. OutSystems requires cancellation at least 48 hours before the scheduled start; attempting it inside that window forfeits the attempt and any fees.
What are the cancellation and rescheduling rules?
Cancelling 15 or more days before your appointment is free with a full refund; between 14 days and 48 hours a $25 USD fee applies. Rescheduling is free at 15+ days, $25 USD between 14 days and 48 hours, and impossible under 48 hours, when the fee is forfeited.
How should I sequence my study for mobile topics?
Start with the offline-first data model: local storage entities, synchronization, and conflict handling, since OutSystems frames this exam around native apps with offline scenarios. Then cover mobile UI patterns, plugin and device capability usage, and lifecycle behavior across O11 and ODC, which differ in platform services. Finish with troubleshooting and performance on device.
What technical setup is required before exam day?
OutSystems requires you to read the How to Prepare for the Exam guide, install the ProProctor application, and run the System Check and Demonstration Exam at least 24 hours before your appointment. The ProProctor app is mandatory; without it you cannot launch the session. Google Chrome is the recommended browser.
When does the launch button become active, and how do I get my results?
The launch button activates 15 to 30 minutes before your scheduled time; starting earlier leaves it disabled. Results are emailed immediately after the session with the subject 'Your Certification Exam Report is Available', and you can also generate the report through Prometric's score portal if the email is missing.
Can I challenge my score if I fail?
No. OutSystems states it does not offer a review or re-scoring service and that all scores are final. You do receive a report highlighting the specific topics where questions were answered incorrectly, which is the most useful input for planning a retake, though the source does not state a retake policy or waiting period.
