What to expect
How exam APV-230 works
Two kinds of question
Most are multiple choice: a scenario, a snippet of code or a response, and four options. A few are hands-on: the exam shows you a real API request, you run it, and type the value from the live response. Those runs are free and don't use your credits.
Hands-on answers need a real run
A hands-on answer counts only if you ran its request during the exam. Running the call is the skill being measured.
Timed, open book
You have 60 minutes from the moment you start. The lessons and the docs are fair game, which is how you'll work on the job anyway.
A score report, pass or fail
Scores are out of 1000 and 700 passes. Pass or fail, you get a report of how you did in each skill area, saved to your account to print or keep as a PDF.
Retakes
If you don't pass, you can retake the exam after 24 hours. After two attempts in a row without a pass, the next one opens after 7 days.
Your credential
Pass and you're issued a credential ID with a public verification page, one-click LinkedIn and a shareable transcript. It's valid for three years, and renewal is free.
Is the exam proctored?
No. It's an open-book online exam. The hands-on questions keep it honest: an answer only counts if you ran its request during the exam.
Does the certification expire?
Yes. Associate certifications are valid for three years from the date you pass, so the credential reflects the platform as it is now. Renewal is free: from six months before the expiry date until six months after it, pass a 15-question, 30-minute assessment and the same credential ID is valid for another three years. Renewing early doesn't cost you any time.
Does it cost anything?
No. The courses, the exam and the credential are free, and the exam's hands-on requests don't use your credits.
Do I need another certification first?
No, but APV-100 covers the HTTP, JSON, error handling and key safety that this path assumes. If any of that is new, start there.
Can I change the name on my certificate?
You set the name when you start the exam. If it needs correcting after you've passed, contact us from the account that holds the credential.
Other certifications
Each one is its own three-course path and exam.
