MarkLogic Professional Certification

How Do I Get Certified?

To start, you need to make sure you know MarkLogic. The certification exams will cover content that is taught in MarkLogic’s free training courses that you can sign up for online or view On Demand. It is also expected that successful candidates will have real-world experience to draw on as well.

To get certified, you have to pass two exams:

1. A written multiple-choice exam
2. A hands-on deliverables-based exam

Successful completion of the written exam is required in order to move on and take the hands-on exam, but both can be scheduled in advance. The exams are held virtually, so you’ll need a laptop with a web camera setup in advance. The written exam takes one hour and the hands-on deliverables-based exam takes no more than four hours.

How do I Upgrade my Certification?

Upgrade your MarkLogic Developer or Administrator Certification credential from a previous version to MarkLogic by completing the MarkLogic Certification Maintenance Written Exam. This exam is ONLY available to individuals that are Certified MarkLogic Developers or Certified MarkLogic Administrators. If you have already achieved either of these two certifications then you are uniquely qualified to enroll in the MarkLogic Certification Maintenance Exam and upgrade to the latest version of MarkLogic.
