Hi. Me and my two colleagues from work were given the task to learn Outystems and get certified in the near future. What path do you recommend this year 2025? I looked through the forum and the information is very often different. Some topics talk about becoming a Reactive Associate Developer first, then taking a course on migration from O11 to ODC and automatically receiving an ODC Associate Developer certificate. I'm a bit confused about this whole process, I've done all the courses and paths available at Outsystems regarding ODC Developer. Now I don't know whether to take the ODC exam or maybe the Reactive Developer exam.Can one of my respected colleagues explain how to do all this?
Hello.
I'll say what I say to my students: your goal should be what your company needs you to do.
Most people don't have a specific company in mind or are at a consultancy firm that wants what the market wants. Statistically, Reactive is the best option for now.
If your company is starting in ODC, you should go ODC only.
Otherwise you can do a bit of Reactive, do the migration path (becoming double certified for free) and then focus in ODC.
If it gives you an idea, my courses will be mostly for ODC in about half a year.
Do you have your own course about Reactive ?? Pls provide a link to it. My company based in Poland, Lingaro Group Sp. z .o.o. would like to start with Outsystems. As I wrote above I and my two team members have to learn and certify in Outsystems. We made ODC path like management said but we thinking about Reactive and double certification like You wrote.
I can provide any official boot camp: https://www.outsystems.com/training/classroom-training/ or Developer School https://www.outsystems.com/developer_school/
By default I do it on my own model, adapted to company needs and class. It can range between 15 hours and 3 months.
For instance:
If your company is paying an OS license, you can develop some software you actually need based in internal requirements.
If your company has a famous product/API, you can do the OS version of it and share it in the Forge.
and so on.
I'll DM you.
Hi Łukasz Szczutowski, Best wishes as you take on the Associate Developer (O11) exam—excited for your journey! Many of us preparing for the O11 Associate Developer certification have felt the same way. For preparing for the exam, the OutSystems Community provides a wealth of resources. But if you wanna take some extra inputs for the exam you can refer to Quizlet where you can learn and attain mock exams.

Hello Łukasz,
I got the Associate Developer Certification on O11 in 2023, and I would still get that one first if I were to start in 2025. Overall I think it's more beneficial, especially if you can do the O11 to ODC trick for free.
I have been working on O11 since then and I see more job opportunities posted on O11 than ODC.
My suggestion is that, if you like this technology and want to learn it for yourself and your future opportunities, go for O11 or O11+ODC after that. Don't limit yourself to what the company needs right now.
Regardless which path you choose, I wish you happy learning and good luck!
Hello Lukasz,
Go for O11 first then to for ODC, Since ODC is the latest, its beneficial for your career path to know more first the O11
Hi @Łukasz Szczutowski, I would recommend taking the Associate Reactive Developer certification as that would set your foundation with Outsystems basics. Then you can move to gain more levels like moving to Specialist areas and ODC as well which will be the future.
