Hello OutSystems Community,
We have more fresh news for you! Today we’re launching the OutSystems Certified Trainer (OCT) badge!
This new certification focuses on enabling and certifying OutSystems professionals on the OutSystems training delivery methodology and best practices. OutSystems Certified Trainers will have access to OutSystems materials and support that can help them deliver and build their own academies and training sessions.
Who is this certification for?
This certification is targeted to professionals from Training Partners or Training Partner prospects, who want to deliver OutSystems training.
What are the pre-requirements?
This new certification does not evaluate your OutSystems technical skills. It focuses instead on the training delivery skills. So, you can only apply to become an OutSystems Certified Trainer if you have:
How does the certification process work?
This certification is not based on an exam and it is focused on the training delivery skills. To get certified you need to attend an OCT Boot Camp where we will share the OutSystems Training delivery methodology and best practices, as well as evaluate your training delivery skills.
If the evaluation is positive, and you meet all the technical requirements, you will receive the OCT badge.
If you already participated in an OCT Boot Camp, and have all the certification/specialization requirements, you will automatically get your OutSystems Certified Trainer badge.
Is this certification for you? We can’t wait to see you in one of the OutSystems Certified Trainer Boot Camps! Any questions? Feel free to reach out to the Training team.
Thanks,
Jorge Costa
Hi @Jorge Costa ,
I tried to get a voucher on our partner portal, certification tab, pressing the Request Exam button allows requesting a voucher for every exam listed, except for this OutSystems Certified Exam. The list is empty, when I search on name, the list remains empty.
Could you take a look at this?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel
Hi Daniel,
Thanks for letting me know. I will have a look at this and I'll get back to you as soon as I know more.
Thanks again,
Jorge
Hello Jorge,
Good to see this certification available to everyone interested! Wondering how is this different from
OutSystems Training Partners Program, is that going to be discontinued or both would run simultaneously?
By the way, on visiting the Certifications page I too don't see any item in the list for this certification, seems that is yet to be updated.

Hi Junaid,
Thanks for reporting the bug. It's already fixed :)
This new certification is targeted at individuals and helps us validate training (and indirectly technical) competencies, focused on the delivery of OutSystems training.
But, the Training Partner Program continues! Our Training Partners deliver official OutSystems training worldwide and they collaborate with us in critical training and enablement projects, with the purpose of accelerating OutSystems adoption in our customers and partners.
I hope this helped answer your question.
This is a great news..!!
Interesting Jorge, so will all Train The Trainers automatically receive certification?
Hi Guilherme,
Yes, but only if they meet the technical pre-requirements (the certifications/specializations listed in the original post).
If someone participated in the Train the Trainer in the past and was approved by the OutSystems Training Team, but does not meet yet the technical requirements, they can still receive this new OCT badge when they complete the last necessary certification/specialization.
I hope this helped clarify your question.
Hi Jorge,
Thanks for sharing this information. Regarding the certification process, what are the accredited trainer certifications and training delivery experience that would result to a positive evaluation?
Kind regards,
Margaret
Hi,

As you can read the criteria, that is not the case, you will have to do the bootcamp.
