Frequently Asked Questions
I don't see any certification exams in the store: What can I do?
It takes a couple of minutes for past exams to be synced to LearnUpon. They will show up automatically once the sync is complete. If you don't see any exams after 10 minutes, please reach out to certification@knime.com.
How can I prepare for the exams?
While there are several options for how to prepare for the examinations, we recommend participating in one of our courses. The naming scheme of KNIME Courses makes it easy to identify the equivalent level in KNIME Certification Program: For instance, the two courses with the prefix [L1-DS] and [L1-DW] will prepare you for the L1 examination. Please have a look at the Courses Overview page for more information about our course program.
Since we currently don't offer a course for the KNIME Server Administration exam, please use the following material to prepare for the examination:
- KNIME Server Installation Guide
- KNIME Server Release Notes and Update Guide
- KNIME Server Administration Guide
- KNIME Server Advanced Setup Guide
How many questions do I have to answer correctly to pass an exam?
The pass mark for any examination is 70%.
Do I have to install additional software before taking the exam?
Since the examination is implemented with LearnUpon, please make sure that your setup fulfills the system requirements of LearnUpon. We are not using any SCORM or Tin Can / xAPI content, so that you can discard this section.
Am I allowed to use additional material during the examination?
No. Please make sure that you only have the browser window/tab with the examination open. If English is not your native language, feel free to use a translation service during the exam. You are, in particular, not allowed to use KNIME Analytics Platform, KNIME Hub, or other KNIME-related resources during the examination.
How can I retake an examination?
Don't worry, you are allowed one retake of an exam as per the Terms and Conditions. You will be able to immediately retake it or prepare some more for a later retake.
What is a digital badge and what can I use it for?
Digital badges are web-enabled versions of a credential or certification that can be verified in real-time. Representing your achievements as a badge gives you a way to share your abilities online in a way that is simple, trusted, and can be easily verified (in contrast to "paper certificates"). Badges provide employers and peers concrete evidence of what you had to do to earn your credential and what you are capable of. You can share your skills on social media to build a digital CV or share it with a future employer.
My employer doesn't accept digital badges, can I get a regular certificate?
Once you have claimed your digital badge, you can select "Print" in the sharing options to generate a PDF version of the digital badge for your employer.
