APPLY AS AN FDE

Let your work
introduce you.

For practitioners who understand business problems, take part in delivery and can explain their contribution. Start with the work you have done.

Three steps to apply

01

Prepare your experience

Describe your background, strengths and role in real work. Share a verifiable case, work link or supporting attachment.

02

Sign in and apply

Save your application as a draft or submit it for community review. Manage practice cases separately without repeating their contents.

03

Follow the review

View progress and feedback in FDE certification. Add requested evidence and resubmit when needed.

What certification enables

Active certified FDEs can create projects and request model, cloud and API resources. Each service has its own eligibility, quota and activation review. Certification does not guarantee a project or a resource grant.

Community and certification

Community discussions and open learning materials do not require certification. Apply when you are ready to share your practice. Use authorized or redacted material for your evidence.
