Am I required to sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) before taking an Okta Certification exam?

To preserve the security and value of the certification program, all candidates must accept the terms and conditions of the Okta Certification Program Agreement during the registration process and at the beginning of any Okta certification exam.  Acceptance of the terms and conditions is required in order to officially become certified and maintain a valid certification status. Download the agreement and read it in full before scheduling your Okta exam. If you are not willing to be bound by the Agreement, you will not be allowed to take the exam.

Is there a registration fee for exams?

Okta certification exams are priced at 250 USD for the first attempt, except for the Okta Certified Technical Architect board defense exam, which costs 5,000 USD for the first attempt. The retake price for all certification exams is 100 USD per subsequent attempt and 2,500 USD  for the Okta Certified Technical Architect board defense exam. Maintenance exams cost 100 USD  for the first attempt, 0 USD for the second attempt, 100 USD for the third attempt, and 0 USD for the fourth, alternating between 100 USD and 0 USD for every subsequent attempt. Premier Practice Exams are priced at 75 USD, covering a total of seven attempts, with an additional 75 USD charged for every subsequent set of seven attempts. Payment for an Okta exam is made during the scheduling of an appointment and can be done using a credit/debit card or an exam voucher.

How long will my certification be valid?

Okta certifications are valid for two years. However, individuals who earn the Okta Certified Technical Architect certification receive an automatic one-year extension, making their Professional, Administrator, Consultant, Developer, and Technical Architect certifications valid for three years. You will be notified by Okta regarding requirements and timeline for completing recertification activity.

What training classes should I take to prepare for the exam?

It is not required that you attend a training class prior to your exam; however, taking recommended training and reviewing Okta Community assets will put you on a fast track to certification success.  It is also highly recommended you review the corresponding study guide for the exam you are preparing to take: Professional Exam Study Guide, Administrator Exam Study Guide, Developer Exam Study Guide, and Consultant Exam Study Guide.

What do I do if I need to cancel or reschedule my exam appointment?

What is the refund policy?

Refunds, if the cancellation policy was adhered to, will be processed for the credit card utilized during the appointment process.  More details about the refund policy can be found in the Certification Program Handbook.

If I fail the exam, can I retake it?

In the event that you fail to pass an Okta certification exam, you may retake the exam under the following conditions:

  • You can retake a failed exam 24 hours after your first failed attempt.

  • To take an exam you have failed two or more times, you must wait 14 days after each subsequent failed attempt.
