What does the certification entail?

This certification is done in cohorts. There is limited availability due to the time it takes to grade each submission. You're free to register at any time, but the time your submissions are evaluated by our grading officials depends on when submissions are received on a first-come-first-serve basis. See table below for our current submission status:

If you pass, you will be awarded the highest difficulty certification Workato has to offer. The process is summarized as follows:

1. It's recommended you complete the Integration Developer Learn Path (prep courses) before attempting, which includes Automation Pro I, II, and III.
2. Complete and pass a 60-question multiple choice assessment.
3. Read through Case Study Scenarios 1 and 2.
4. Develop a solution to both case study scenarios.
5. Submit your solution assets and a 5 minute video explaining your solution to our team of graders.

How long is the process from start to finish?

As a test-taker, you can complete your submissions in as little as a couple of hours if you're already proficient in the knowledge required to pass the assessment and practical. Once you upload the required materials for the practical submission, you will be queued in a grading cohort for a grading official to evaluate.

Does the certification cost money?

Yes, attempting the certification is $300. You get two attempts for both the assessment and the practicum. If you don't pass either the first time, you get a second chance to pass included as a part of your purchase.
