Adobe Workfront
Core Developer Professional
This page provides information on how to attain this certification. It includes a description of the exam, study materials, step-by-step instructions on the certification process, and how to renew your certification.
This exam may include up to 10 unscored questions in addition to the scored questions, meaning the total number of questions presented may exceed the number listed on the website. This is a standard psychometric practice used to evaluate the statistical performance of test questions for future use. These unscored questions are indistinguishable from scored questions and are embedded throughout the exam. The total test time accounts for all questions, including unscored ones, and allows sufficient time for response and review. Your final score will be based solely on your responses to the scored items.
