What are badges?
AppDynamics has included digital badges as an additional way for you to share and validate your achievements. These badges provide a secure and verifiable way to share your professional story.
A digital badge consists of an image and metadata that are uniquely linked to you and your achievement. Your digitally shared credential grants viewers immediate access to validated information that features your knowledge and skills and verifies its issuance by Cisco and AppDynamics.
What certification badges are offered?
We currently offer the following certifications:
- AppDynamics Certified Associate Performance Analyst
- AppDynamics Certified Associate Administrator
- AppDynamics Certified Professional Implementer
Certification badges are awarded after success in passing one of our certification exams. These examinations exemplify the most comprehensive knowledge of AppDynamics monitoring systems and, depending on the certification attained, one's ability to deploy the technology on-premises.
How do I earn an AppDynamics technical certification badge?
First register for one of our three certification tracks.
Next, complete the recommended courses within the applicable Learning Plan at AppDynamics University and review the preparation guide.
Please note: The offered badges listed are subject to change over time
AppDynamics partners with Credly to deliver its Professional badges through its Acclaim platform. For a comprehensive view of our badge offerings, please visit our official Credly page.
Once you've successfully passed or completed your exam or course, Credly, our official badging partner, will send you email instructions for accepting and downloading your badge!

What if I have passed an exam in the past?
