You’ve achieved your Esri Technical Certification, congratulations! Now that you’ve reached this stage in your Certification Journey, it’s time to share that achievement with the rest of the GIS community. Join the growing list of professionals that have validated and shared their ArcGIS expertise in our Directory of Esri-Certified Individuals. Read this article to learn more about our directory and how you can add your certification credentials. What is the Directory of Esri-Certified Individuals? Our directory is hosted in Esri Academy under the ‘Certification’ tab located in the navigation bar on the top of the site. It’s a directory of individuals that have elected to share their Esri Technical Certification achievements and their respective locations around the globe allowing others to see and contribute to the ever-growing list of GIS professionals in their respective region. It is beneficial to add your information to this directory to not only help others quickly verify your credentials by searching for your name, but adding your information helps you serve as an Esri certification advocate for GIS professionals in your area, helping inspire others to begin their certification journey to take the next step in their career. How Do I Add My Information? To add your information to the directory, you will need to complete a few easy steps to configure your Esri certification accounts that you used to take your certification exam (Pearson VUE) and the account you used to view your exam scores (CertMetrics) following the instructions outlined here. Once these accounts are set up and you are logged into your primary ArcGIS account, you can opt in to have your information visible in our directory. Once you’ve opted in, all future Esri certifications will be automatically added to your directory profile. (Please note it can take up to 10 business days for changes to reflect once you’ve opted in). Questions? Browse topics on our Questions board to see if your question has already been answered by the Esri Certification experts. If not, post your question. If you have any questions pertaining to your Esri Technical Certification accounts (Pearson VUE, CertMetrics, Credly), please submit a case to the Certification Team.

Hello @GlenShepherd -- You are correct, we expected our vendor to post the results on March 12th and by March 17th (the day of your post) we did not have the results posted to our beta test takers. I'm not sure which day the blog schedule was updated but the results were completed and posted by March 25th. The delay was due to the fact that this was our first time providing section level score reports to the beta exams -- something we didn't have in the past -- and basically the initial launch for this process took more business days than expected to process and post to test takers, we do not expect the issue to happen again in the future. Thank you for your support and participation @GlenShepherd, we hope you will support other beta exams in 2025!

Hello @khogan39 - Beta exams are only available during the specified date range, usually 21-days. The Pearson VUE registration system will not allow test takers to create appointments past the beta period so, if you have purchased an exam voucher and are unable to attend during the beta period, you can apply the voucher to the operational exam. To learn more about beta exams, visit our Beta Exam FAQs and our Beta Exam Schedule.

Hello @MarcusPaoloPatam -- Great questions! The beta exam is only available during the posted beta dates. The Pearson VUE registration system will not allow people to create appointments past the beta period and the results are expected to be posted to test takers 8-10 week after the close of the beta period.

Hello @ericsson -- Thank you so much for your post -- it alerted us to an issue with our vendor system. Unfortunately there was an error on the Pearson VUE Registration System. When it is programmed properly, the registration system does not allow for appointments to be created past the availability date. Pearson resolved the error on Thursday and contacted all test takers. We apologize for your inconvenience and hope you will allow us an opportunity to further resolve this with you. Please complete our form (sign in if it doesn't auto populate) and I'd be glad to assist you privately to determine the best way to support you.

Hello @IhabHassan -- Thank you very much for your comment and we apologize for the inconvenience caused by the error on the Pearson VUE Registration System. The registration system should have restricted exam appointments to ensure they did not exceed the beta availability date. Because of the error, Pearson had to manually cancel the appointments within the system that were scheduled past the availability date. We understand that you had intended to sit for the beta exam to earn your SME badge. Please allow us to further assist you with this issue privately. Please complete our form (sign in if it doesn't auto populate) and I'd be glad to assist you.

Hello @KevinPerry2 -- Thank you for posting your question. In the past we had a sample question web course but the feedback was not favorable so we discontinued it and are looking to create an alternative product. We hope to have something created next year.

This article provides you with a quick look at key information allowing you to understand the exam retirement schedule, the registration process, dates, and expectations. Our primary authoritative location for policy information is outlined on our website's Retirement Policy tab and our Exam Retirement Policy FAQs article. We recommend that you subscribe to the Esri Technical Certification community to receive program update notifications and click this link to Ask Questions. What is the exam retirement process? When an exam is pending retirement, the exam is still visible in Esri Academy, and candidates can still use the Pearson VUE Registration System to make an appointment and take the exam at a Pearson VUE Test Center or with OnVUE until the noted retirement date. Exam learning plans and exam information guides will still be available in Esri Academy until the exam is retired. Go to Esri Academy > Learning Plans > Search "Certification" When an exam is retired, the exam has been removed from Esri Academy and Pearson VUE Registration System, there are no longer any exam appointments available to sit for the exam. 2024 Exam Retirements Exam Name and Version Retired GIS Fundamentals Foundation 2201 June 30, 2024 ArcGIS Desktop Associate 19-001 June 30, 2024 ArcGIS Desktop Professional 19-001 June 30, 2024 Enterprise Geodata Management Professional 19-001 June 30, 2024 Enterprise Administration Professional 19-001 June 30, 2024 ArcGIS Online Administration Specialty 19-001 June 30, 2024 ArcGIS Utility Network Specialty 20-001 June 30, 2024 ArcGIS API for Python Specialty 20-001 June 30, 2024 ArcGIS API for JavaScript Specialty 19-001 June 30, 2024 Previous Exam Version Retirements Exam Version 10.5 Retirement -- December 31, 2020 ArcGIS Desktop Entry 10.5 ArcGIS Desktop Associate 10.5 ArcGIS Desktop Professional 10.5 Enterprise Geodata Management Associate 10.5 Enterprise Geodata Management Professional 10.5 Enterprise System Design Associate 10.5 Enterprise Administration Associate 10.5 Exam Version 10.3 Retirement -- December 31, 2018 ArcGIS Desktop Entry 10.3 ArcGIS Desktop Associate 10.3 ArcGIS Desktop Professional 10.3 Enterprise Geodata Management Associate 10.3 Enterprise Geodata Management Professional 10.3 Enterprise System Design Associate 10.3 Enterprise Administration Associate 10.3 Exam Version 10.2 Retirement -- July 31, 2017 ArcGIS Desktop Developer Associate 10.2 Web Application Developer Associate 10.2 Enterprise System Design Associate 10.2 Enterprise Administration Associate 10.2 Exam Version 10.1 Retirement -- July 31, 2016 ArcGIS Desktop Associate 10.1 ArcGIS Desktop Professional 10.1 ArcGIS Desktop Developer Associate 10.1 Web Application Developer Associate 10.1 Enterprise Geodata Management Associate 10.1 Enterprise Geodata Management Professional 10.1 Enterprise System Design Associate 10.1 Enterprise Administration Associate 10.1 Exam Version 10.0 Retirement -- July 31, 2015 ArcGIS Desktop Associate 10.0 ArcGIS Desktop Professional 10.0 ArcGIS Desktop Developer Associate 10.0 Web Application Developer Associate 10.0 Enterprise Geodata Management Associate 10.0 Enterprise Geodata Management Professional 10.0 Enterprise System Design Associate 10.0 Enterprise Administration Associate 10.0
