The Kit, with its project book and included components, gives a total beginner everything that’s needed to become hands-on proficient in Arduino coding and electronics, so it’s used as the basis for the Fundamentals certification exam.
While it’s not mandatory to have or use the Starter Kit in order to pass the exam, it is a resource that’s recommended by Arduino.
How to Prepare for the Exam
Arduino does not require any prerequisites before taking the exam. However, they stress that the knowledge and skill-level that’s tested in the exam does closely match the content of the Arduino Starter Kit, so that’s an ideal place to begin.
Arduino recommends going through the projects book that’s included with the Starter Kit and building those projects to prepare for the exam.
Once you purchase the exam and gain access, you’ll be able to take the exam right away or wait and prepare. There is a 1-year expiration date once you purchase the exam.
If you should happen to fail, you will receive feedback about your performance on the different topics the exam covers. Hopefully this information will help you prepare better for a future attempt.
