We encourage all employees to obtain certifications that improve their professional performance and offer them career and opportunity growth. You will need to visit the official certification website to find details on the certification including duration, location, provider (e.g. Prometric, etc.). Please talk to your team leads (i.e. SL, SM) as they can often direct you to folks that have already taken the certifications and may be able to provide study materials.
Below are some common certifications we recommend.
