Registering for the Big Sur exam

[MichaelS]

Hello everyone,

I'm trying to register for the Big Sur exam.

When I visit apple.com and click 'Take an Exam', it jumps me to macOS Support Essentials 10.15 End User Exam.

Does anyone know how to register for the Big Sur exam?

@MichaelS,

I didn't mean to let this slip. But on a little more research, I'm not sure if the Big Sur exam is published out yet. I've found nothing anywhere referring to it. We may have to wait until it's released but there is no timeline that I can for that release either.

Thank Ronnie.

I have done the ITPro.TV course for Big Sur. Since there seems to be nothing on apple.com regarding the Big Sur exam, are you able to confirm that the ITPro.TV course covered all the exam objectives?

@MichaelS,

So according to Don, there really hasn't been much of a change in material covered over the past several exams. He's added in what feature are new to Big Sur and covered the same topics also covered in previous iterations of the exam.

Ok great. Thanks Ronnie.

I'm just now waiting for Apple to make the exam available to write.

The Big Sur exam is now available for students to take.

@MichaelS,
Thanks for letting us know!

for those interested, you'll have to login to your apple certification site via https://training.apple.com/us/en/recognition

You're welcome Ronnie. :)

Now, for anyone: the cost of the exam is 250 USD. I'm Canadian, which means that the exam fee is over $300 Canadian for me. I'm working reduced hours, so a discounted fee would help.

Does anyone know how to obtain a voucher (usually entered when I complete the exam purchase) that can be used to get a discounted exam fee? Thanks.
