Frequently Asked Questions
| How do I prepare for an exam? There are no specific prerequisites for completing the Fundamentals exam. However, the knowledge level and concepts tested in the exam closely match the content of the Arduino Starter Kit. We can therefore recommend going through the content of the Arduino Starter Kit Projects book, and building the projects introduced in it. | What do I get when I purchase an exam? You get 1 attempt to pass the exam. Once the access is unlocked, you can take the exam right away, or take your time to prepare and come back whenever you feel ready. |
| What is an Arduino certificate?
The official Arduino certificate is a document that affirms your successful completion of the Arduino exam, and serves as a guarantee of your competence in the Arduino-related subjects. It could be used to highlight your skills and learning progress, and to advance in your career or education. Arduino certificates use a unique QR code system which allows to instantly check their validity online, making them impossible to forge or copy. | What happens if I fail the exam?
You can try completing the exam again by purchasing another attempt. At the end of each exam you will receive feedback about your performance in relation to the different topics covered in the Arduino Fundamentals exam. This information should help you improve and perform better next time. |
