Hi,
Thanks for the info, but I think OutSystems should create an article on with this.
Thanks AWL!
Great ,thanks for the explanation!
How do you obtain the Certification Upgrade badge? The description of the badge is "Earn an OutSystems certification ", I have 2 Certifications but no badge have been awarded.
Great post!
Previously OutSystems had Delta Certification Exams to upgrade (for example from OS 10 to OS 11). Currently, no such certifications are available. So wait for next Delta exams for this badge. :)
Thank you for the reply, OutSystems could have provided more specific details, but your explanation has made it clear to me how to obtain the badge.
Thank you very much for the useful information
and here they are also documented by OutSytems:
