How to do ThingWorx Developer Associate Certification

[EdoardoConti]

Dear PTC,

I wanted to know, if possible, the link to do the online exam on ThingWorx Developer Associate.

I looked on internet, but I did not find anything.

Can you help me?

[DavidR.Eberle]

Thank you for your question. The ThingWorx Developer Associate Exam has been replaced by our new ThingWorx Foundations Credential. Students can pursue the ThingWorx Foundations Credential by completing three ThingWorx Foundations training courses and passing an assessment. More information about the required training and associated assessment can be found on this page. The training courses are available for free and a student can self-enroll from our Free Online Catalog. Once the courses are complete, please use the "Contact Us" button on the Assessment: ThingWorx Foundations page to connect with a PTC Training Advisor to purchase the exam.

I finished the 3 courses, i clicked contact us, I inserted the data but I can't contact you.

can you help me?

Thank you.

[DavidR.Eberle]

I will contact you in a private message.

Thank you very much for clarification. Do I understand you correct that I must complete 3 free courses to get the exam's permission? 

Or I still have another way is to pass the exam via Kryterion test center?

Hi,

I'm Karan and I work in David's team and would be assisting you with your queries.

Yes, in order to unlock the 'Assessment: ThingWorx Foundations' one should complete the three pre-requisites viz. Fundamentals, Modeling and UI development. However, the Assessment itself is a paid exam. Can you please let me know if you have a Sales Order Number (SON#) which signifies the purchase? Else, I can have a sales representative contact you for further assistance.

[GeetikaJain]

Hi, I have completed the three pre-requisite courses required for unlocking the assessment, however I am still not able to take the assessment. When I tried the contact-us button the sales person that contacted me suggested the course only without assessment. Is it possible to take the assessment after free courses?

I completed the three ThingWorx Foundations training courses and willing to take assessment . I informed the same in the contact us but I didn't get any reply till now.  Kindly consider this.

[SenthilPrabhu]

Hi NikhilaPesala,

How are you doing? Did you found the details of the certifications, cost and the process? I hope you have either completed the certificate or almost ready to give in. It would be interesting to know the status of the fellow aspirant who completed the 3 courses a month back.

Thanks

[laura-proctor]

It's great to see such interest in the credential!

We are currently working on our completing the ThingWorx subscription which will include two ThingWorx certifications - Fundamental and Professional! You can go to the following link to find out more information:

The new Fundamentals credential will be available next week!

I cleared my Fundamental Certification last year in September 2019. Is the new Fundamental certification anyway different from previous one.

Also, how I can apply for Professional certification ?

[laura-proctor]

Hi sid_jhs,

Thanks for checking in!

The new certification exam covers some similar material as that of 2019. You can learn more here:

https://www.ptc.com/-/media/ptc-university/curriculum/thingworx/en/TWCR-FUND-Abstract.pdf

We will update the exam each calendar year, and honor the certificate for two years.

The ThingWorx Professional Certification will release in October and will include advanced content on connectivity, mashups, service authoring, security, data storage, and many other topics. The topics are selected from each course beyond Fundamentals in the ThingWorx Curriculum Guide.

Thanks @laura-proctor  for your quick reply.

I see that following 2 topics are added in this training for fundamentals course which were missing when I took classroom training provided to me by PTC Instructor last year.

           Fundamentals of Analytics

           Fundamentals of Deployment  

Is there any was to get training for following content online for users who have already taken training recently. As in my case not even 1 year is completed.

[laura-proctor]

Analytics will have new information, but Deployment largely focuses on user access, which was covered in the former modeling course. You may register for the training session by itself, or sign up for a ThingWorx Learn Online Subscription and have access to the new certification and the professional level classes.

If you are looking for free resources, look in the ThingWorx Developer Portal.

[SenthilPrabhu]

Hi David,

I am on my way to finishing the 3 courses. I am afraid, it is very little to none information on the certification (both foundations and if there are any plans for more). Esp, since the certification is named as foundational. Also, I would like to know the cost of the Foundation Certificate; it would help me initiate the conversation with my company management,

I believe, keeping this information public and more accessible will only bring more developers into Thingworx platform, I hope that the goal of both PTC and the community.
