Overview
Some of The Open Group certifications require candidates to pass two separate exams—Part 1 and Part 2—to earn certification. This article explains whether passing only Part 2 is sufficient.
Do I Need to Pass Both Exams?
Yes.
For any certification that includes two Part exams, you must pass both Part 1 and Part 2 to qualify for certification.
Passing Part 2 alone does not meet the certification requirements.
