About this exam

The OutSystems Professional Developer designation is not a single exam but a credential earned through the OutSystems Certification Program, which certifies individuals on knowledge and real-world project experience. The program includes Certification exams, which certify individuals and teams as OutSystems professionals for different proficiency levels and roles, and Specialization exams, which are shorter exams focused on specific topics or areas. The program lists roles such as ODC Developer, O11 Developer, Tech Lead, Delivery Specialist, Platform Ops Engineer, DevOps Engineer, and Traditional Web Developer, with 19 exams in total. Relevant specializations for a professional developer path include Architecture Specialist, Web Developer Specialist, Mobile Developer Specialist, Front-end Developer Specialist, and Security Specialist, offered for ODC and/or O11. Each exam has a defined duration, language availability, and fee, for example the Architecture Specialist (ODC) is 90 minutes and costs $100 US, while the Associate Developer (ODC) is 120 minutes and costs $200 US. To prepare, OutSystems advises reading the How to Prepare for the Exam guide, which covers steps before and during the exam for remote testing or a test center, and recommends installing the ProProctor application and performing the system check and demonstration exam at least 24 hours before the appointment.
