Alteryx Certifications
As part of their amazing Community, Alteryx have provided free, online certifications since 2017.
Before that, it was a paid, in person process that Dan and Ben undertook in 2016 !
These certifications demonstrate your proficiency in Alteryx Designer, and upon completion, you will be assigned an Alteryx Community badge and receive a certificate to share on Linkedin.
How exciting - personally, we'd throw a party!!
It’s also a fantastic way to be introduced to other areas of Alteryx that you might not typically use - such as Spatial analytics, macros and applications.
There are several different certifications, but we highly recommend all Alteryx users aim for at least the first 2 of the following three certifications…
