Circzy Certification

Circzy Certification is a microcontroller skills exam run directly by the Circzy platform, with no trainer. The exam has theory questions and practical tasks done in the simulator, graded automatically by the system. Anyone can check that an issued certificate is genuine.

Certification opens at certification.circzy.com and uses the same Google account as Circzy.

Only CMF is open right now. Other tracks are announced on the certification home page when they open.

Duration, passing score, theory and practical weights, and validity for each track are shown on the track page. Some tracks are valid for a number of years and some for life.

Exam flow

  1. Buy a voucher on the track page. One voucher includes several exam attempts (2 by default) with a waiting period before a retake. Promo codes and referral codes can be used at checkout.
  2. Complete your identity on the identity page (linked from the certification home and track pages): full name as on your ID, ID number, a photo of your ID card or student card, and a selfie holding the card. The student track (CJB, once open) does not require this step.
  3. Start the official exam. The timer starts and one attempt is used. Answers are saved automatically.
  4. Answer the theory questions: single choice, multiple choice, or ordering.
  5. Do the practical tasks: click Work in the simulator, build the circuit and write the code as instructed, then run the simulation to try it. Each participant gets a different variation, such as a different pin number.
  6. Submit. The exam is also submitted automatically when time runs out. The system compiles your program and runs it against a test scenario, usually in under a minute.
  7. See the result: theory score, practical score, and the list of practical checks that passed or failed.

Vouchers for schools and companies

When you buy more than one voucher, you get a list of voucher codes under Vouchers. Share the codes with students or employees; they redeem them on the track page. The code list can be downloaded as CSV.
