Exam Certification FAQ
Q: When can I retake the exam if I don't pass it?
A: You can retake all of our exams after 7 days with the exception of the Expert and Mastery exams. You must wait 2 months between your first and second attempt and 3 months between subsequent attempts for these exams. You can retake exams as many times as you need to pass.
Q: When I pass a certification exam, what will I receive?
A: You will receive a digital certificate of completion and a badge on the Alteryx Community. To ensure that you receive the Community Badge, please register with the same email that is associated with your Community Account.
Q: What will I need to take the exam?
A: You need to be signed in to your Community account to access the exam. Alteryx Designer must be installed in order to complete the practical application questions.
Q: What should I do to prepare?
A: The Exam Prep Guide page provides exam details, topics and tools covered on the exams, and a curriculum to help you prepare. See below for additional recommendations!
Q: Will my certificate reflect my exam score or number of attempts?
A: No, certificates will not reflect exam metrics.
Q: What is a 'passing grade' for the exam?
A: A passing score varies depending on the exam.
Q: When can I take the Advanced exam?
A: You can take the Advanced exam immediately after you pass the Core exam.
Q: If I skip a question during the exam, can I come back and re-visit it later?
A: Yes, you can return to questions that you'd like to re-visit as often as you'd like during the exam. However, after you complete and submit your answers, no changes can be made.
Q: What can I use as a reference during the exam?
A: You may use Alteryx, the Community, and the web. This test is "open book". View the Alteryx Certification Policies for more details.
Q: Will I receive a breakdown of the questions I answered correctly and incorrectly after the exam?

Q: Are testing accommodations available?
A: Yes, as a forward-thinking organization, we at Alteryx want to give everyone the power of solving. If you require accommodations in order to take a certification test, please contact certification@alteryx.com.
Q: How long is my certification valid?
A: Certifications expire two (2) years after the date the certification is earned. The earned date is based on the most recent, highest-level exam passed. For example, if you become Core Certified in November 2019, and then pass the Advanced exam on March 29th, 2020, both certifications will expire on March 29th, 2022.

To maintain your certification, you must recertify before the expiration date. Alteryx provides two ways for you to recertify:

  1. Pass the current exam for your certification status. For example, passing the current version of the Advanced exam if you're currently Advanced Certified.
  2. Pass a higher-level exam. For example, if you're currently Core Certified, you could recertify by passing the Advanced exam.

If you do not recertify by the required date, your certification will expire and you will lose the right to use the certification logo or represent yourself as holding that certification credential.  When your expiration date is approaching we will send a reminder email to the email address associated with the certification. It is your responsibility to monitor the approaching expiration date and fulfill recertification requirements even if you do not receive reminders. If you wish to regain your certification status after the expiration of the previous certification, you must satisfy all prerequisites for that certification as a new candidate. If you allow your Advanced Certification to lapse, you will have to pass both the Core exam and Advanced exam to regain your status.

Exam Certification FAQ
Q: When can I retake the exam if I don't pass it?
A: You can retake all of our exams after 7 days with the exception of the Expert and Mastery exams. You must wait 2 months between your first and second attempt and 3 months between subsequent attempts for these exams. You can retake exams as many times as you need to pass.
Q: When I pass a certification exam, what will I receive?
A: You will receive a digital certificate of completion and a badge on the Alteryx Community. To ensure that you receive the Community Badge, please register with the same email that is associated with your Community Account.
Q: What will I need to take the exam?
A: You need to be signed in to your Community account to access the exam. Alteryx Designer must be installed in order to complete the practical application questions.
Q: What should I do to prepare?
A: The Exam Prep Guide page provides exam details, topics and tools covered on the exams, and a curriculum to help you prepare. See below for additional recommendations!
Q: Will my certificate reflect my exam score or number of attempts?
A: No, certificates will not reflect exam metrics.
Q: What is a 'passing grade' for the exam?
A: A passing score varies depending on the exam.
Q: When can I take the Advanced exam?
A: You can take the Advanced exam immediately after you pass the Core exam.
Q: If I skip a question during the exam, can I come back and re-visit it later?
A: Yes, you can return to questions that you'd like to re-visit as often as you'd like during the exam. However, after you complete and submit your answers, no changes can be made.
Q: What can I use as a reference during the exam?
A: You may use Alteryx, the Community, and the web. This test is "open book". View the Alteryx Certification Policies for more details.
Q: Will I receive a breakdown of the questions I answered correctly and incorrectly after the exam?
A: Unfortunately, no. We do not distribute answers.
Q: When I retake the exam, will I see the same questions?
A: The question variety will depend on the exam.
Q: Are testing accommodations available?
A: Yes, as a forward-thinking organization, we at Alteryx want to give everyone the power of solving. If you require accommodations in order to take a certification test, please contact certification@alteryx.com.
Q: How long is my certification valid?
A: Certifications expire two (2) years after the date the certification is earned. The earned date is based on the most recent, highest-level exam passed. For example, if you become Core Certified in November 2019, and then pass the Advanced exam on March 29th, 2020, both certifications will expire on March 29th, 2022.

To maintain your certification, you must recertify before the expiration date. Alteryx provides two ways for you to recertify:

  1. Pass the current exam for your certification status. For example, passing the current version of the Advanced exam if you're currently Advanced Certified.
  2. Pass a higher-level exam. For example, if you're currently Core Certified, you could recertify by passing the Advanced exam.

If you do not recertify by the required date, your certification will expire and you will lose the right to use the certification logo or represent yourself as holding that certification credential.  When your expiration date is approaching we will send a reminder email to the email address associated with the certification. It is your responsibility to monitor the approaching expiration date and fulfill recertification requirements even if you do not receive reminders. If you wish to regain your certification status after the expiration of the previous certification, you must satisfy all prerequisites for that certification as a new candidate. If you allow your Advanced Certification to lapse, you will have to pass both the Core exam and Advanced exam to regain your status.
