    As someone that's done a lot of Training on Genesys in my old role On-Premise and also CX Cloud. I'd love to know how many courses others have taken and also which exams you took to get certified. 

    One thing that stands out to me is the order in which people do this, I get asked alot about the order in which to do so. I'd love some community feedback on what you did and it may help others make the decision on which course to take and when!!

    Let me know below.

    Good Day Robert.

    I completed by Genesys Cloud certification in the following order. 

    1. Professional Certification
    2. Architect Certification
    3. Outbound Certification
    4. AI - Digital Bots & Knowledge Certification

    Starting with CX Professional gave me a good understanding of the platform overall and how it works. Architect was then next on my list to start with very basic call flows.  Some of the topics in Architect was easier for me to understand as it was already covered during the professional course.  Obviously not in details but just for some understanding.  Had similar experience when I started with Outbound as well, due to some of the topics being covered briefly.

    This really helped me a lot during my preparation for my exams.  Hopefully it can also help someone else in the community that is starting their certification journey.

    Regards

    Thanks Stephen, I did do a very similar Journey as well. I have been recommending this same path to the customer as it just makes so much sense

    Hi Rob,

    I achieved Genesys certifications in below order:

    1. Professional Certification 
    2. Architect Certification
    3. Scripting Certification
    4. Quality Management

    I'd like to complete the Developer & then AI - Digital Bots & Knowledge Certification this year.....but now have to renew my Architect (at the least) & Scripting certs as well.

    To have a good understanding of the overall solution I think Architect, Dev & Ai certification are a must in Genesys.

    Thanks

    Hi Rob,

    I'd tackle the GCP and GCD close together since they both cover Implementation and Contact Centre, it just makes sense given the overlap. From there, I'd lean into my strengths and start working towards the next certifications to get into exam mode. After that, review the remaining certs by looking at how much content there is and what I already know, so you can build a realistic learning plan (what excites me😀)

    Everyone's at a different level, so it's normal to progress at different speeds. The main thing is to enjoy the learning journey as certifications aren't always the end goal. What really matters is what you learn and how you apply it in your role. If you're keen to go further, the Genesys Resource Centre is the best place to dive deeper, as it has the strongest training material there is.

    Thanks

    Paul

    I went to Xperience 2025 and took advantage of the fact that you can take certification exams for free during the conference. I did:

    1. Professional Certification
    2. Architect Certification
    3. Outbound Certification
    4. Scripting Certification
    5. Developer Certification

    The last I took mostly because the registration guys were amused that I already passed the first four exams. They were trying to get me to take the API exam as well, but as I've only touched that like twice I didn't feel confident in that one.

    Good day Robert,

    If i may, this is more an expired certification story :)

    We were given the full subscription (2024) that gave us access to all webinars, Instructor led trainings and Vouchers!

    I packed my whole 1 year (the subscription length) with all the Instructor led trainings. (You need to plan 2 months ahead to get a free slot)

    GCP was the biggest (first), once got it, the others just came through. 

    Only 1 certification I couldnt get then was "AI - GPE & GPR". No instructor training, didnt have access to eBook as subscription expired and also not much hands-on "lab"  experience then.

    Seeing product in action with Instructors, cramming the lab..  it was the best learning combo.  Got it first hand from Genesys, since then started looking for it in all other tech.

    Looking forward to the next round of subscription when it comes.

    Hwaiting! :)

    I took my exams in the following order: 

    GCP-Professional

    GCACS-Architect

    GCCD- Developer

    GCSC- Scripting

    GCAI-Chatbots.

    It seemed like a natural progression as I started with basic system administration then worked my way up to Developer and AI applications.

    Hi Robert,

    I've earned 22 Genesys certifications so far, and one of my personal goals is to keep all of my Genesys Cloud certifications active and avoid expiration.

    When it comes to the order of certifications, my approach has been fairly simple: I pursue the certification that I feel most confident passing first. Early successes help build momentum, confidence, and familiarity with the exam format.

    Rather than following a fixed sequence, I usually evaluate my hands-on experience and existing knowledge, then select the certification that best matches my current skill set. As I gain more experience, I move on to more advanced or specialized certifications.

    My advice for others is to start with the areas where you're strongest, build confidence through a few successful exams, and then expand into new domains. Everyone's journey will be different depending on their role, experience, and interests.

    I'd be interested to hear from others. How many certifications have you earned, and what strategy did you use to decide the order? 😊

    Thanks,

    I would like to take a moment to express my sincere gratitude to both Genesys and my employer for their continued support of learning, certification, and professional growth.

    First, a huge thank you to Genesys for the employee's Genesys Beyond Full Access policy and the opportunity to earn exam vouchers across the Genesys Cloud, PureEngage, and Connect certification tracks. This initiative gave me the chance to explore a broad range of technologies and challenge myself with certifications that I might not otherwise have pursued. It has significantly expanded my knowledge of the Genesys ecosystem and strengthened my understanding of customer experience solutions.

    Second, I would like to thank my company for providing a certification subscription for engineers who are committed to earning and renewing their Genesys Cloud certifications. Having access to this program enabled me to renew multiple certifications within a single subscription period and continue investing in my professional development without barriers.

    Finally, I would like to recognize the Genesys Orchestrators Program for creating a culture that encourages continuous learning, community engagement, and knowledge sharing. The Advocacy Program motivates us to earn points through learning activities and community contributions, which can then be used to help maintain our subscriptions and support ongoing certification efforts. I particularly appreciate how the program promotes a cycle of learning, sharing, and giving back to the Genesys community.

    Together, these programs create a powerful ecosystem that supports lifelong learning, professional growth, and community collaboration. I am grateful for the opportunities they provide and look forward to continuing my learning journey while helping others along the way.

    Hi Robert,

    So first time around GCP, GCD then Outbound, Architect, Scripting, QM and Digital Bots & Knowledge. This time, 2 years later, I am planning to attempt the previous and add/attempt AI GPE & GPR and Speech and Text Analytics to that. I have also covered a lot in the Orchestration areas, agents, supervisors, business user etc.. from the learning path areas as that is adding some additional user type knowledge for me. If anyone has missed them I can recommend the learning paths as a very helpful, at least for me ;)

    I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to the Genesys Community Management Team for their dedication, leadership, and ongoing efforts to create and maintain such a valuable learning and collaboration platform. Their commitment to fostering an inclusive, engaging, and knowledge-driven environment has made the Genesys Community an exceptional resource for customers, partners, employees, and certification candidates around the world.

    Through their hard work organizing community programs, supporting member engagement, recognizing contributions, and continuously improving the community experience, they have helped build a culture that encourages learning, professional growth, and meaningful collaboration. Their efforts ensure that community members have opportunities to connect, ask questions, share expertise, and learn from one another.

    I would also like to thank the broader Genesys Community, including customers, partners, employees, Genesys experts, and fellow certification candidates who generously share their knowledge, experiences, best practices, and lessons learned. Whether through answering questions, writing articles, participating in discussions, mentoring others, or sharing certification insights, community members consistently demonstrate a willingness to help others succeed.

    The combination of strong community leadership and active member participation makes the Genesys Community far more than a discussion forum. It is a place where professionals can learn from real-world experiences, expand their technical knowledge, build valuable relationships, and accelerate their professional development. I am truly grateful for the support, encouragement, and knowledge-sharing culture that the Genesys Community and its management team have cultivated.

    Rob, my own experience includes Professional, Developer, and Quality Management certifications, and working across those areas has made the connections between them especially useful.

    Developer knowledge helps me understand integrations and investigate unexpected behaviour. Quality Management brings a different perspective: how do we evaluate whether the experience we built is actually good?

    That combination has become particularly valuable in our AVA and Copilot projects, where building the solution and assessing its results are closely connected.

    For choosing what comes next, I'd look at the questions coming up most often in your current projects. Applying what you learn makes the certification much more meaningful. And yes, renewals deserve a place in that plan too! 😄

    Excellent perspective, Mateus ! I especially like your point about choosing certifications based on the questions and challenges you're encountering in real projects. That's where the learning really sticks. And I couldn't agree more about renewals, they're a great way to stay current with new capabilities and refresh existing knowledge. Thanks for sharing! 😊

    Hi @Robert Tyson!

    This was my sequence:


    Professional Certification
    Architect Certification
    Outbound Certification
    Scripting Certification


    The next one will be Developer.
