DASA certification programs are designed to be practical and applicable. We focus not just on content and knowledge, but also on enabling participants to apply these concepts in their work.

To achieve this, our programs include exercises and business simulations. This approach creates an experiential learning environment that is effective regardless of the delivery format chosen. Through active experiential learning, you can confidently apply newly acquired knowledge in real-world situations.

• Each program is developed by subject-matter experts who have years of practical experience in the field.
• The subject-matter experts are supported by experienced learning designers to ensure that we build the right kind of experience for the learners and the material is easy to understand and apply.
• During the product development stage, we have a review process that involves a panel of over 200 professionals from around the world.
• We host quarterly portfolio review sessions with our community. This helps us develop and refine our portfolio and ensures the relevance of our existing products.
• We monitor the feedback monthly and regularly update the materials to keep it in-line with the needs of our learners.

DASA certifications are designed to be versatile and inclusive of various methodologies. We don’t limit you to any single method, framework, or set of rules. This flexibility ensures relevance regardless of your team’s or organization’s stage in transformation. DASA certifications can complement existing practices, such as Scrum or SAFe, enhancing what you are already implementing.

Whether you feel the urgency to transform or are already in the process of becoming a high-performance digital organization, you will meet your needs with DASA programs.

To prepare for your certification exam, consider going through the mock exams we’ve created for each certification program.

For most DASA certification programs, there are no prerequisites. However, having basic knowledge of Agile, Scrum, Lean, and ITSM principles is beneficial.

For two of our programs, DASA DevOps Professional – Specify & Verify and DASA DevOps Professional – Enable & Scale, obtaining the DASA DevOps Fundamentals certification is a prerequisite.

Our programs are categorized into three levels: foundational, professional, and leadership. Consider your current role and capabilities when choosing the certification.

DASA certification exams are virtually proctored, and conducted in a closed-book format. The duration, number of questions, and passing grade vary depending on the certification program. Detailed exam information for each certification can be found on their pages.

For the DASA DevOps Leader certification program, there isn’t a traditional exam. Instead, candidates are required to develop a transformation plan based on the methodologies and frameworks covered in the course and present it to two independent assessors.

No, DASA certifications do not have an expiration date. Once you are certified, your qualifications are permanently validated through your digital certificate and badge.

If you have purchased courses through our partners, kindly contact the respective partner to inquire about their specific return policies.

If you purchase instructor-led training, offered by DASA, you can cancel your course for free if it starts in more than 30 days or if it’s starting within 30 days but isn’t confirmed to be delivered yet.
