What is a blueprint survey? A blueprint survey is an important part of the exam development process. It describes an exam’s “minimally qualified candidate” and includes an extensive list of specific knowledge that this candidate should have and the ArcGIS tasks they should be able to perform. Just as important, the blueprint survey lists the skills and knowledge that the minimally qualified candidate should not be expected to have.   Participating in a blueprint survey allows you to make an impact on upcoming exams by providing valuable feedback. Your survey responses will help us ensure that: Exam objectives reflect tasks and workflows expected to be performed by the minimally qualified candidate. Exam sections are appropriately weighted. Learn more about blueprint surveys here.   How to Participate Review exam details and download the exam information guide in Esri Academy to assess whether your current knowledge and skills align with the exam content to meet the criteria of "minimally qualified candidate." Review blueprint survey frequently asked questions. If you decide to participate in the blueprint survey, let us know you’re participating by clicking “Yes" under the "Will you be attending" section here on this page. We recommend adding the blueprint survey time period to your calendar. If you clicked "Yes" to attend, you will receive an email reminder with the survey link to participate on the day the survey opens.    Our exam-development process is rigorous so that you (and employers) can be confident that Esri technical certifications align with real-world GIS workflows and best practices applying ArcGIS products.   Thank you in advance for your participation!
