Date for ESRI Desktop Associate Certification Exam

Question

Hi all,

My name is Pornima and I live in Australia. I wish to take the ESRI Desktop Associate Certification core exam and I have few queries regarding the date of the exam. When I try to purchase the exam voucher it doesn't show me an exam date. So is it so that one has to purchase the exam and take on the spot? I need to be clear with before I go ahead and purchase the exam.

It would be great if someone can help me out with this.

Thanks in advance,

Pornima

Hi @PornimaAbhyankar, how exciting you are considering pursuing an Esri technical certification! Apologies for the delayed reply, I am just now seeing this. You will first purchase an exam voucher and then schedule your test date. You may take your exam at any Pearson Vue location worldwide or using the Pearson OnVue online proctoring option. You can find more information here: https://www.esri.com/training/certification-take-exam/. Hopefully that helps answer your questions.

Regarding the exam, you may be interested in the new ArcGIS Pro Associate certification rather than the ArcGIS Desktop Associate. https://www.esri.com/training/catalog/611c203a6db91a4360495f74/arcgis-pro-associate-2101/

Hi @PornimaAbhyankar

Once you purchase the exam voucher, you have to schedule your test appointment. The link is available just under the purchase voucher options (highlighted in yellow in attached image) or you can use this link https://home.pearsonvue.com/esri to set up an exam appointment. Be careful that you select correct time zone.

Hope this helps.

Cheers
