Application Developer Core Skills Micro-Certification Suite

So I worked through the trainings and micro-certs listed on this page in order to get my "Application Developer Core Skills Micro-Certification Suite."  This included the following four micro-certs:

  • Flow Designer
  • Integration Hub
  • UI Builder
  • Automated Test Framework 

Then I noticed that underneath the graphic for the suite certification, it reads, "Suite Certification - Application Developer Core Skills Micro," which includes all the same words, but in a different order.  So I clicked on that graphic, and it took me to this other page, which says I need the following five micro-certs to get the suite certification:

  • Citizen Developer Application Creator
  • Application Developer Process Creator
  • Application Developer User Interface Creator
  • Flow Designer
  • Virtual Agent

(Only the Flow Designer micro-cert is common between the two lists.)

 

My question is, both pages tell me that I have completed the suite certification, but only one of the two can be correct, correct?

 

And I just now noticed that the list of five on the second page doesn't even match the tiles below it.  According to the tiles, what is needed for the "Suite Certification - Application Developer Core Skills Micro" are the following:

  • UI Builder
  • Flow Designer
  • Application Developer Process Creator
  • Introduction to App Engine Studio
  • Virtual Agent

So my question evolves to, only one of the three lists of micro-certs can be correct, correct?  I suppose if I want to cover all my bases with regard to the suite certification, I should go pick up Citizen Developer Application Creator, Application Developer Process Creator, Application Developer User Interface Creator, Introduction to App Engine Studio, and Virtual Agent.  Just to make sure I have all nine micro-certs listed across these three different paths.

 

I guess... Now Learning needs another editor?  I'm sure these pages and lists are all pulled from a database and built on the fly, so I suppose there are (accidentally) two entries for the "Suite Certification - Application Developer Core Skills Micro" with different names and descriptions (but why list the micro-certs in the descriptions when they'll be shown in tile form right beneath?), and then different paths to completion of the same single suite certification.  The editors do a fine job, in general (the occasional typo in learning materials can be ignored, but is there a way to report them?), the mess above just caught my eye.

@DaveW2 Good catch, I recommend raising a case with Now Learning support team using the Help Center link on Now Learning portal. You can also share the same details at training@servicenow.com.

@Sandeep Rajput and @Dr Atul G- LNG, I have submitted a case. despite my last interaction with the system leaving a bad taste in my mouth (I could not get through a lab, and got back a form letter saying, essentially, "there's nothing we can do, try validating anyway").  We'll see what happens.  I also added the following to the case:

 

...And I realized a few minutes ago that the graphic shown on both the above pages doesn't (itself) say anything about suite certification, it says, "Micro-Cert Application Dev Core Skills." The tile under "My Achievements," underneath that same graphic, reads "Suite Certification - Application Developer Core Skills Micro," though. So, is it another Micro-Cert, or is it a Suite Certification?

Hi @DaveW2 

 

I think it is just another micro.
