mentioned above, there will be an extra fee of 25 US$.

Taking the Exam

and without traveling. The exams are proctored by a third party, which ensures the integrity of
your physical and virtual environments and monitors the exam to guarantee the fair and
honest completion of the exam. You can find all about the online exams in Prometric’s user

Note that for online exams the proctor support is only available in English. If you select a
language different from English for your exam, that refers exclusively to the exam content.
Therefore it is still relevant that you have a certain level of proficiency in the language, to be
able to communicate with the proctor during the exam setup, or in need of assistance.

The exam is also available in Test Centers. When registering for the exam you can check for
the test center closest to you and find an available date. This is the most complete experience,
since you will be in an environment fully prepared to host the exam and with support from the
staff in the local language.

Exam Fee
The respective exam fee will be charged during the registration process. You will not be able to
proceed until the payment is complete.

No shows

If you fail to take your exam before the expiration date, you will still be charged for the exam.

Repeating the Exam

If you fail your exam attempt, you can always register again for a new exam, paying the regular
exam fee. To register for the new attempt, register through our Certification Page. In case you
find any issues please contact [email protected].

Certification Version
Your certification is associated with a specific version of OutSystems. For example, you can
receive the Professional Platform Ops Engineer Certification for OutSystems 11.

Certifications will be associated with major release versions. If you want to be certified on the
latest version, you must pass the exam for that version.

Good luck on your exam!
