Qt Certification

That's Qt's source, not the software.

From https://www.gnu.org/licenses/why-not-lgpl.en.html

The GNU Project has two principal licenses to use for libraries. One is the GNU Lesser GPL; the other is the ordinary GNU GPL. The choice of license makes a big difference: using the Lesser GPL permits use of the library in proprietary programs; using the ordinary GPL for a library makes it available only for free programs.

Hi,
The curriculum links are now back up at : https://www.qt.io/qt-certification/

@raven-worx
Yes. i agree with you.
But that information may be helpful some time.

@gfxx
see Qt Safe Renderer:

With Qt and the Qt Safe Renderer it is possible to create many different kinds of certified systems. While our initial focus is on automotive digital cockpits this solution is also applicable to medical and industrial automation systems. ISO 26262, IEC 61508 or IEC 62304 are some of the applicable standards that we are working to certify the new Qt Safe Renderer for.

Qt Safe Renderer works with Qt 5.9 and Creator 4.3, or later versions. For the target RTOS we are supporting INTEGRITY and QNX. On the silicon side we are supporting the NXP iMX6 and NVIDIA Tegra X1 with plans to to add support for Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 and Renesas H3. We can support alternative RTOS and processors on an as needed basis.
The Qt Safe Renderer and related tooling will become available as an add-on to the commercially licensed Qt.

@Tino Thanks a lot for your reply, then I understand why there are more exams in the Person VUE website.
I passed the 010-002 in 2009 and am thinking about getting the next Qt certificate. According to your reply , I think there are two paths to follow during this transition period.
First one is joining the 022-001, to the get the pure C++ specialist .
second one is joining the 010-003 and 021-002 to get the Qt C++ specialist.
Is the curriculum of 022-001(http://wiki.qt.io/Curriculum-of-Qt-advanced-certification) still valid?
If I made any misunderstanding, could you kindly please point out? Thanks.
I think lots of Qt certificate holders have the same questions as me. Can we add some explanations about this old/new certificate system and this transition period in our developer website or wiki? that will be very helpful.

Br,
Hai

@tekojo Thanks a lot, I think it's a better way to give some auto-reply when the reply will be expected some delay. :-)

@raven-worx I mean to say, old exam 021-001 give Qt- Widget and UI Specialist, and new 021-001 give Certified Qt C++
Specialist, if I have one old exam and given new I will get c++ or for that, i need to Give new Essential available.

Unless something changed, the new one should list all achieved module.

Hi @Zee_07

If I understand your post correctly then you are asking if you can become a Qt specialist if you succeed in 2 Qt developer tests instead of taking the Qt specialist exam?

AFAIK you have to take the Qt specialist to become a Qt specialist. A lot of Qt specialists have taken only one Qt developer exam and then went for the Qt Specialist title. I don't have statistics on this though ;-)

@mrjj said in Tips for certification:

the information is spot on

Slow down there. Some stuff there is far from ideal like the chapter on QThread and some parts are obsolete like QHttp/QFtp. On the other hand this has probably been the starting point for many of us so strongly recommended

Another resource for Qt4 is: AQP

And for Qt5 the Cookbook. my feeling is still that this book wastes too much on rather marginal parts of the framework but includes parts that weren't included in the earlier books like web engine.

My personal advice is not to waste money on Ray Rischpater's book

I'm surprised that the QGraphicsView framework is still included in the exam especially after statements like:

Because of the larger than not overlap between Qt Quick 2 and Graphics View, I would expect to see Graphics View moved into a “Compatibility” module for Qt 6.

Hi,

Qt Certification is handled by PearsonVue. You can search there for Vienna, a quick look showed 5 possibilities.

Like other certificates, they prove that you have reached a certain degree of knowledge in the understanding and the use of the framework which increase your value when looking for a job requiring Qt as part of your CV.

Hi @Galilio
Certification exams are handled by PearsonVUE, as explained on the certification page https://www.qt.io/qt-certification/
Looks like there are locations in or near Lucerne, Bern and Zug in Switzerland.

The certification page also has the different curricula for the tests.

Thanks @raven-worx

@mrjj Thank you very much.

But I have no idea how well it matches what you're looking for...

@Hareen-Laks @dheerendra If you are developing an application for Mobile Devices, there will be many different Operating Systems like one device will be having Android, one will be having iOS etc.., So you need to write code specific to each Operating System which is time consuming and it is very costly. So there arises a thought that "Can we write code once and use on different Operating Systems..?" The answer is YES, with the help of Cross platform libraries. And Qt Framework is the one which provides Cross Platform Libraries for developing Apllications across different sets of Platforms.

@tekojo

Thanks for your answer, their is no separate C++ exam, the user taking Qt exam should know the prerequisite that is C++.

@def_vsk no known date. We are really hoping still during June, but we don't have a fixed date.
