Hi there @viet.nguyen, I see that some Certification criteria require me to have access to paid Katalon products such as Katalon Runtime Engine, can I get access to them for a short time just to complete my certification without having to pay for them? Thanks ---

Hi @coldplays6371 and @Kumar_Narayanan, welcome to the thread! Since your questions are kinda similar, I will reply to both of you here. Yes, some criteria require access to paid Katalon solutions. In addition to taking advantage of the trial period, you can leverage the Communityā€™s [Kudos](http://forum.katalon.com/t/getting-started-part-6-get-rewarded-for-your-contribution-with-the-kudos-rewards-program/78544) Rewards Scheme to get access to the Katalon solutions.

Hi @viet.nguyen, Iā€™m wondering in what way(s) will the new certification criteria that will be introduced next month enhance the training/learning outcomes for us Katalon users? (would the certifications make us stand out more in the job market for example) Thanks ---

Hi there @sangmook.kim, new criteria will be introduced to help users learn more about test automation activities and master more Katalon features for their testing operations. The new certifications will equip users with more practical skills, adding more value to their professional profile. Hope this helps. ---

Hi there, Iā€™m currently working on my Professional certificate, and I wonder which steps I should take **before the update** to ensure that my existing certificate (Practitioner) remains valid? And, if I have yet to achieve my Professional certificate by July 1, 2024, then will the introduction of the new criteria mean that my current progress will be affected? (it may go down for example) Thanks ---

Hi @Manoranjan, 1. Any certification earned before July 1 will still remain valid for 2 years from the issue date. So no actions/steps are needed to be taken for your Practitioner certification. It will continue to remain valid. 2. After July 1, the Professional Certification will have a set of criteria, including some of the current criteria and some new ones. Your current product data will stay the same (no reset), you will need to use the required solutions to meet the new criteria. Hope this helps. ---

Hi @Jon_Robinson, some AI features require you licenses to certain Katalon solutions. For example, you will need to use Katalon Studio Enterprise to use StudioAssist.
