Please read this section carefully:
PROCTORING
This exam is proctored, which means that your attempts will be recorded and analyzed by an automated platform.
You may be BLOCKED from beginning the exam if:
Your computer is plugged into an external monitor.
You do not have a working microphone.
You do not have a webcam.
You are not ready to submit a photo of your face via webcam for facial ID.
You do not have a photo ID on hand (a record of this ID may or may not be requested, depending on your session details).
Your exam session will be uninterrupted, but may be FLAGGED for future review if:
Anyone else appears on camera in your environment (you may wish to close any open doors).
Your phone or any other devices are nearby or accessed during the exam session.
A restroom break is allowed, but leaving your desk may also flag your exam session for future review.
When you sit down to begin the exam, you’ll have a chance to review these instructions. Once you hit “start,” the proctoring system will verify the requirements above. At the end of the verification process, be sure to share your entire window screen. Once it’s complete, you’ll proceed to the first question.
You can see what the verification process will entail from start to finish by clicking through this interactive walkthrough.
OPEN-BOOK POLICY
This is an open-book exam, which means you’re allowed to use certain online resources to help you answer questions. The resources you can use include the following:
You may NOT use:
AI of any kind (like Chat GPT, Google Bard, etc.)
Google (or any Google products like Google Docs, Sheets, etc.)
Any Social Media Sites (X, YouTube (other than the Bubble channel), LinkedIn)
If you access any unapproved resources during the exam, your exam session will be flagged and reviewed for validity.
CHEATING POLICY
Any violation of the following rules is considered cheating and will disqualify you from earning or holding a certificate indefinitely.
You may NOT publicly share any questions or answers encountered on your exam. This includes, but is not limited to, sharing copy, images, video, or any other media on the Bubble forum and social media, via written or verbal discussion.
You may NOT directly collaborate on this exam with anyone or anything — you must determine the correct answer(s) for yourself without any external input. You may not rely on any coaches, community peers, or AI tools.
You may NOT assist someone taking the exam question-by-question (whether you, yourself, have already taken it or not).
If you have a question or concern, please visit our Support Center for assistance before taking the exam.
How these rules were developed
The Bubble Developer Certification was created to demonstrate that a developer has the skills and knowledge to build or maintain Bubble apps for others in a professional capacity. We understand the important role certification serves in helping clients vet talent and developers win business — and that its integrity is key to its legitimacy.
In passing the exam, you demonstrate your qualification by:
Knowing the answer to a question because of your experience.
Knowing how to build a demo in your editor in order to test and pinpoint the answer to a question.
Knowing where you can go to look up more information about a topic to help you identify the answer to a question.
In each case above, though you may be using external resources, you're ultimately relying on your own knowledge and instincts to find the answer. On the other hand, getting served the answer by someone (or something) else with more knowledge than you doesn’t demonstrate your independent capabilities or knowledge.
If even a handful of people become certified by having someone (or something) else do the thinking for them, it diminishes the good-faith efforts of others relying on their own experience, knowledge, or ingenuity — and weakens the legitimacy of certification overall.
