While Node.js is increasingly pervasive with +enterprises of all sizes today, organizations that are eager to expand their +use of Node.js often struggle when retraining Java developers and recruiting +new talent. + +“The Node.js Foundation, with help from incredible community members and core +experts, is creating a comprehensive certification program that broadens the +funnel of skilled Node.js expertise available. Whether working in enterprise +environments or as individual consultants, those who become Node.js Certified +Developers will be well-positioned to hit the ground running as a Node.js +developer, possessing skills that are in high demand,” said Tracy Hinds, +education community manager for the Node.js Foundation. + +The Node.js Certified Developer program, which is being developed with input from +leading Node.js experts and contributors, is expected to be available in Q2 of +2017. The program will provide a framework for general Node.js competency, +helping enterprises quickly identify qualified Node.js engineers, while +providing developers, contractors and consultants with a way to differentiate +themselves in the market. + +Node.js Foundation is worked closely with [The Linux Foundation](https://training.linuxfoundation.org/certification/why-certify-with-us) to create the blueprint +and process for administering the program. The Linux Foundation offers a +neutral home for running training and certification programs, thanks to its +close involvement with the open source community. It offers several open online +courses (MOOCs), including an [Intro to Linux](https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-linux-linuxfoundationx-lfs101x-0), [Intro to DevOps: +Transforming and Improving Operations](https://www.edx.org/course/introduction-devops-transforming-linuxfoundationx-lfs161x); [Developing +Applications for Linux](https://training.linuxfoundation.org/linux-courses/development-training/developing-applications-for-linux); [Kubernetes +Fundamentals](https://training.linuxfoundation.org/linux-courses/system-administration-training/kubernetes-fundamentals); among many others. + +Ideal Node.js Certified Developer candidates are early intermediate-level developers +who can already work proficiently in JavaScript with the Node.js platform. +Pricing for the self-paced, online exam is still +to be determined. + +Currently the Node.js Foundation is working with the community to determine specific questions that will be asked on the exam.
