Snowflake Launches SnowPro Specialty Certifications

October 22, 2024

Today Snowflake announced the launch of the new SnowPro Specialty Certifications. This new tier of certifications will assess a user’s proficiency in the knowledge and skills of specialized Snowflake features critical to accelerating Snowflake success. The exams will test skills through scenario-based questions, interactive questions, and real-world examples. The first two exams in the series are the SnowPro Specialty: Snowpark Beta Certification Exam and the SnowPro Specialty: Native Apps Beta Certification Exam. 

To be eligible to take either beta exam, you must hold an active SnowPro Core Certification. The Specialty exams will build upon the foundational Core knowledge regarding SQL syntax, databases, data sharing, data integration, commands, privileges, and Snowflake best practices. The following table summarizes the beta exam specifications and timeline for both exams. For more information, please visit here.
