Study Guide

This study guide outlines what to expect while completing the Ignition Gold Certification Test and offers a roadmap of resources to prepare yourself for the assessment.

Before proceeding it is important to note that this test is not a means of learning the Ignition software. The Gold Certification Test is an assessment of your pre-existing competency and proficiency with Ignition, and allows you to demonstrate that you hold the advanced knowledge and skills represented by a Gold Certification.

IMPORTANT

Read all instructions thoroughly and carefully when taking the test. Before starting on Troubleshooting or Development read through all of the instructions for that section.


📄️ Recommended Resources

The Gold Certification Test is a take-home Ignition project, so the test can be considered “open book”. Meaning that publicly available Inductive Automation resources like the User Manual and Inductive University are allowed to be used during the test. In addition, the Gold test requires the use of SQL queries to access database data and Python Scripting to achieve more advanced functionality. Documentation about SQL queries and Python scripts can be used as well. Please note, while online resources are at your disposal, collaboration is prohibited while taking the test.
