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.

...

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.

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 the 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.
