The CommCare Certification program will be suspended effective April 19, 2017 while Dimagi works on designing a new and exciting experience. Any capstones submitted before that date will be graded. We plan to provide further detail about the future of the certification program and Dimagi Academy in late 2017. The standard Dimagi Academy courses will remain open without any Certification components (CommCare Fundamentals and CommCare Application Building). Thanks for your patience! |

What is CommCare Certification?
...
If you want to test your knowledge, or validate the skills of a new colleague, there is a test available for each of the learning modules. These tests are available on CommCare Dimagi Academy and are designed to ensure comprehension of the learning objectives. There is no charge to take these tests, but they are required in order to get a certification
Other things to keep in mind:
- You must do your own work. You can consult the CommCare Help Site or other apps you have built, but you cannot ask other people for help.
- You can take a test multiple times but we will only count the most recent time you took the test.
- You must get 70% correct in order to pass a test.
2. Capstone Exercises
Each of the learning tracks has a capstone exercise which will synthesize information across all of the modules and test your ability to apply them in complex situations. This will challenge you to use everything you have learned from all of these modules, and push you to discover even more by using the Help Site and trying things out on CommCareHQ.
Capstone Process
Certification FAQs
...
A: All certifications are for individuals.
Q: Do certifications expire?
A: Certifications are good for 2 years; however because CommCare undergoes constant updates we may send you additional updates that we will trust you to learn about.
Q: I am the only one at my organization working on CommCare - do I need to complete all tracks?
A: It depends what you are doing. Look at the different tracks to determine what you want to do. There is some overlap between the tracks (i.e. for example, CommCareHQ Overview is part of 3 Learning Tracks) so each subsequent track should be easier.
Q: What if I don't pass the Capstone?
A: If you do not pass the Capstone on your first attempt, we will provide you with feedback on areas to improve, and you will have one (1) chance to make corrections based on the feedback given to you. If you do not pass after submitting your revisions, you must wait 30 days before reapplying.
