Gold Certification

info

Legacy tests may have different submission instructions and passing requirements. Please thoroughly read your test instructions, and reach out to training@inductiveautomation.com with any questions or concerns.

How do I become Gold Certified?​

If you are Core Certified, you can acquire a Gold Certification by passing the Gold Certification Test or by attending certain advanced Ignition courses (Perspective or Databases & Scripting) and completing the labwork requirements. The course schedule can be found on the Inductive Automation Website.

The Gold Certification Test can only be started once you are Core Certified, and requires advanced proficiency with Ignition. The Gold test also requires knowledge of SQL and Python scripting in addition to all of the fundamentals of designing with Ignition. More information about the Gold test content can be found in the nested Study Guide.

What is the Gold Certification Test like?​

The Gold Certification Test is a take-home Ignition exam that requires completing a set of prompts that cover different aspects of Ignition. The test must be submitted within six months of purchase. Please wait until you have completed the entire test to submit your solutions. After submitting your file, Inductive Automation will review and grade your test. You will receive a pass or fail grade and status report that lists anything that was incorrect. When you pass, Inductive Automation will change your status to "Gold Certified" and a certificate will be emailed to you soon after.

How much time does the Gold Certification test take?​

It is difficult to estimate how long the Gold Test will take for any test-taker. Completion time is dependent upon your experience and knowledge of Ignition. The exam may take 16-40+ hours or more, depending upon your experience, and must be submitted within six months of purchase, as noted above.
