OneStream recommends preparing for exams based on a combination of formal training, OneStream Press books, commonly referenced product documentation, and real-world experience. Stay tuned in the future for additional OneStream resources, including:
Each exam will have a Study Guide that outlines a unique set of knowledge, skills, and abilities aligned to domains (aka., sections), exam objectives, and recommended study. The knowledge or skills required to pass the exam were defined through a job task analysis conducted with subject matter experts, and validated through a blueprint survey, which ultimately determined the weighting of each domain and exam objective. Study Guides will outline the recommended courses and product documentation, as well as the sections with percentage of questions in each domain.
Exam Type: | Price in USD: |
Lead Architect | $1,000 |
Administration | $250 |
Implementation Foundations | $1,000 |
Prices are valid for one exam attempt. A second or subsequent exam attempt will cost $300 for the Lead Architect exam, $125 for the Administration exam and $300 for the Implementation Foundations exam.
TIP: Attendance in the recommended training does NOT guarantee candidates will successfully pass a OneStream certification exam. The best way to prepare for an exam is by having practical, hands-on, real-world experience.
The first time you register for a OneStream exam, you will need to:
TIP: Make sure you have reviewed the OneStream Certification Program Terms and Non-Disclosure Agreement in advance. On the day of the exam, you will be asked by the proctor to pan the room with your webcam, close all running processes, and you must agree to the OneStream Certification Program Terms and NDA before you will be allowed to take the exam.
Exams will be online and remotely proctored through video. And, Examity will record the entire testing session for archiving purposes.
Exams will be timed in considering the amount of time it would take to answer all items on an exam.
Exams will have delayed scoring, ensuring that OneStream performs industry standard statistical analyses on all exams to ensure compliance. Once you complete an exam, you will find out if you passed or failed within 2-3 business days. Access your CertMetrics account to review your certification status.
Before you take an exam, you need to have the required equipment and you need to organize your test-taking environment so it complies with stated rules. The proctor will perform an authentication of your identity and verify your test-taking environment before you may start your exam.
Make sure you have prepared your testing environment so that you comply with all exam rules.
Plan to sign into Examity 15 minutes prior to your scheduled exam appointment. This will allow sufficient time for the proctor to complete the authentication process, as well as assist you with any technical issues.
1. Launch your exam using the appointment URL provided in your confirmation email.
2. On the Examity dashboard click Start Exam.
3. The proctor will walk you through the authentication process. You will be asked to:
4. Review the on-screen exam instructions and click Start Exam when you are ready.
5. By clicking Start Exam, you agree to the OneStream Certification Program Terms and Non-Disclosure Agreement. We strongly recommend that you review these terms prior to your exam appointment by clicking on this link.
6. Begin your exam – Good Luck!
Scheduled breaks are not configured for OneStream certification exams. For online exams, you are not permitted to stand up from or leave the view of the camera for any reason, other than a restroom break, for the duration of the exam. If a restroom break is required, contact the proctor directly. If the proctor does not respond to a verbal request, initiate a request through the chat function in the Examity environment.
While taking an exam, you can expect your behavior to be monitored throughout the test-taking period by a OneStream test delivery provider (e.g., Examity proctors). You must complete your own exams without assistance. However, if there is a malfunction with a test computer, report the issue immediately to a test administrator or proctor, and request that they log an incident. Do not ask test delivery providers / proctors questions about exam content or scores, as they will be unable to assist in these matters.
During testing, there will be a built-in timer on the computer screen that will show how much of your testing session remains. Be sure to plan wisely so that all questions can be answered in the allotted time.
