I noticed that there is a banner stating the certification exams are unavailable at this time on the academy site. Is there a set time when they will be returning? Should I still continue with the foundations course or is there something else I can take instead?
Topic summary
Main issue: Certification exams on Shopify Academy were temporarily unavailable, prompting questions about timing and study options.
Interim guidance: Continue the Foundation Certifications course to build core knowledge. Explore the free Product Education learning path “Upgrade Shopify Checkout”; completing its knowledge check grants a completion badge.
User concerns: Some needed a firm timeline, citing urgency for job opportunities. Others requested status updates while exams were offline.
Latest update: Certification exams are now available again. Learners can proceed with the exams and take advantage of the restored access.
Outcome: The discussion is resolved with the exams’ availability restored. Previous recommendations (foundations course and the checkout learning path with badge) remain valid study options.
I can understand the uncertainty of not having the exam available to assess your learning progress. While we’re working on a specific timeline for when the exam will be accessible, I recommend completing the Foundation Certifications course to gain a full understanding.
In the meantime, you can explore the Product Education learning path : Upgrade Shopify Checkout. Once you finish the knowledge check, you will receive a completion badge. The best part is that it’s completely free!
But When it will be available? Are you changing the questions or what? I need it for a job opportunity ASAP!!
Any updates?
