Yes! As part of your subscription, you will have access to our content library that includes hundreds of hours of courses, practice and projects.

We have curated a series of Career Tracks that will guide you through building the core skills you will need for certification. Once you feel ready, we also provide a range of resources to help you prepare for the exams themselves, giving you a chance to experience the process before you start.

You can start the exams whenever you like. Just like the rest of the DataCamp platform, we have designed the certification process so that you can fit it into your schedule. You’ll have 30 days from the time you register to complete all the certification requirements. Some exams also have a time limit and you’ll be informed of the time limit upon registration.

Once certified, you’ll have the opportunity to share your certifications on LinkedIn and incorporate them into your resume to demonstrate your freshly acquired skills and your capability to apply them in professional settings.

Our Career and Technology Certifications are valid for two years from the date awarded. The data industry is moving quickly and it is important to keep your skills up to date, so you will be invited to retake the exams after two years.

Our Fundamentals Certifications do not expire, as they are designed to demonstrate understanding of fundamental knowledge that is unlikely to change over time.

DataCamp certifications are designed by assessment experts at DataCamp, in collaboration with our independent advisory panel. With many years of hiring experience, the panel really understands what it takes to get a job in data and we design our certifications with this in mind. When it comes to the exam questions, these are all authored by experts in the respective roles and our team of graders are all actively working as professionals in the data industry.

As well as certifications awarded by DataCamp, you can also prepare on DataCamp for certifications offered by our partners and other external providers. Check out the individual certification pages for more details on taking the exams and our exclusive partner discounts.
