Awarded for demonstrating command of automation sequencing under severe time constraint: filtering candidates on repetition, error proneness, blocking and provability, scoring build cost against permanent upkeep, choosing removal of a task over automation of it, recognising the three categories that should stay manual, detecting an automation that has silently stopped, retiring automations deliberately, and applying a stopping rule rather than working a list to its end.
Certificates are designed to be checked, not just displayed.
The credential is valid for 12 months from issue. Its public page states the expiry date, and renewing means passing the current exam again — so the credential always reflects the current material.
