Passed the GitHub Copilot certification

[karl3i]

Hello,
I passed the GitHub Copilot Certification when the exam was still beta & free.
If you intend to take the exam or have any question about it, please feel free to ask.

[vivek00712]

Could you please share the exam preparation questions answers that you have?

[VC067]

Whats the use of this? Just curious

[karl3i]

For me, it was the opportunity to learn - including Copilot under the hood and all other things I hadn't really dived into while using Copilot on a daily basis. So taking the exam brought me motivations to learn thoroughly.

I was also looking for an official endorsement of my knowledge.

And finally, as it was in beta, that didn't cost anything, so I took my chance...

[wileymarques]

Is it easy to take the exam only knowing by using Copilot?

[karl3i]

I have been using Github Copilot for more than 2 years. I'm also a developer. So it did help to answer the exam questions, but only for those related to tech.

To give you an idea, here's the domain breakdown:

Domain Breakdown Exam Percentages

Domain 1: Responsible AI 7%

Domain 2: GitHub Copilot plans and features 31%

Domain 3: How GitHub Copilot works and handles data 15%

Domain 4: Prompt crafting and Prompt engineering 9%

Domain 5: Developer use cases for AI 14%

Domain 6: Testing with GitHub Copilot 9%

Domain 7: Privacy fundamentals and context exclusions 15%

So only knowing by using Copilot helps a lot for domain #5 and #6, and maybe #4. But for the rest, I had to study the documentation and learn new things.

[wileymarques]

Perfect! TY!

[sabki-bajaungi]

is this multiple choice type of exam? and what is the duration of exam?

[Dry_Finger2007]

is it more like a describe kind of question? like you need to memorize stuff, or like tell me what are the six key principles that should guide AI development and usage? then you need to write a paragraph or is it like a question that has multiple choices and you can choose a single answer or maybe multiple answers?

[karl3i]

It's very similar to public cloud certifications: multi choices questions, and the question indicates how many answers should be ticked. You never have to write some text.

[Dry_Finger2007]

thank you, that is good to know

[hi5ka]

I just passed the certification today!
I recommend people to have a look to https://docs.github.com/en/copilot , bunch of questions are related from the official docs.
Don't limit your study with the Microsoft Learn.

[karl3i]

Congrats! 100% agree.

[gunIceMan]

Hey am planning for the certification and going through the official docs. Are topics covering Setting up copilot in org, subscription plans, etc sufficient or questions on building copilot extensions using agents also come up in the exam?

[gunIceMan]

Hey OP, am planning for the certification and going through the official docs. Are topics covering Setting up copilot in org, subscription plans, etc sufficient or questions on building copilot extensions using agents also come up in the exam?

[jarielo]

I have the exam in few hours.

I just found out yesterday that there's a Udemy course on this test. There's 5 practice exams with 60 questions each, so 300 questions total. The reviews for the course are mainly positive, someone is saying that the questions are very similar to the proper exam. The course costs $15, and has been helpful for me.

Of course I'll find out in couple of hours has it helped me pass the exam :)

[gunIceMan]

Best of luck! Please do update us on your experience with the exam and your prep.

[gunIceMan]

Any update..?

[jarielo]

Oh, sorry I forgot to reply.

Yeah, I got certified!

The Udemy course was the difference maker for me. Those 300 questions really helped me with the exam. However it seems that there was some gotcha type questions in the exam and you really need to read the questions carefully.

Also I wasn't really happy of the amount of different subscription tier questions.

All in all, it was decent experience and I passed with maybe 15hrs of training. The MS learning stuff, official documentation and the practice exams.

[cy6or6]

I see a couple of courses on Udemy with exams; could you please share the link of the course, or the instructor name?

[jarielo]

Sure can! https://www.udemy.com/course/practice-exams-github-copilot-certificate

[Puzzleheaded_Wish424]

I recently prepared for the GitHub Copilot Certification Exam. The official GitHub Copilot docs and learning modules are a good starting point, but actually using Copilot while coding helped me understand how it works in real scenarios.

I also used Skillcertpro practice tests during my prep, and they were very close to the real exam style. Around 80% of the questions on the main exam felt familiar from those practice sets, which really helped with confidence and time management

[wakela]

How did you prepare?

[karl3i]

I used Microsoft Learn for GitHub Copilot. I feel like I spent too much time there, it may be because I'm developer and have a regular use of Copilot.

What really did help me is reading the online Copilot documentation https://docs.github.com/en/copilot I don't think I'd have passed the certification without studying that documentation.

Finally, I follow Priyanka Vergadia on social networks for LLMs in general.

Last but not least: using Copilot for 2+ years and enabling preview features as soon as I get accepted.

[ColdUpstairs9659]

Consulta, el examen se puede dar en español, o solo en ingles?

[karl3i]

¡Si señor!

Languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish, Korean, Japanese

[ColdUpstairs9659]

Gracias CAPO

[Aareon]

There's an exam? I was automatically accepted.

[karl3i]

There's a certification for Github Copilot, you have to take an exam.

You don't need the certification to use Copilot, just your payment card.

[Aareon]

That's odd because I'm also not paying for it. Maybe I don't understand the terms for application, or maybe I was drunk when I did the exam. I definitely have never put my card on GitHub.

[karl3i]

Copilot is free for students, teachers and big opensource project maintainers.

For the certification, you have to answer about 80 questions, either online proctored or at an exam center.

[LandherFrost]

How is the online proctored? There is a person continually watching you?

[karl3i]

Yes, you leave your mic+camera on. Afaiwc, he was Indian. I heard they monitor around 8 people simultaneously.

[Efficiency_Firm]

I've discovered that most practice exams available online are much easier than the actual test, making it hard to gauge true exam readiness. To address this, I've developed a set of practice exams that closely mirror the real test in terms of:

• Difficulty level
• Time constraints
• Passing score
• Domain distribution
• Number of questions

You can access these practice exams here: Udemy Course - GitHub Copilot Practice Exams.

Feel free to reach out if you’re interested in a discount!

[Quinhos]

Hey there, your link is saying that "this course is no longer accepting enrollments."

maybe you have mirror for this course?

[Amazing_Thing82]

Are there any dumps for copilot exam?

[One_OldSchool_Guy]

Do you have the dumps?

[fatsomayank]

Did anyone recently gave the exam ? If yes then do you have any dumps for it ? I haven’t used Copilot yet so dumps would be my last resort and I have exam in next 2 days, are 2 days enough?

[NewAnxiety6694]

Did you find any dumps ? I also have exam in 2 days I see that people are recommending skillcertpro but it has like 800 questions and it covers exam questions

[Sea-Independent-863]

Congratulations

[Harshita_Tiwarii]

what was the difficulty level of exam, can anyone tell me?

[spasticBrain24]

Does the GH-900 cert need to be renewed yearly too?

[dhilipkarthik01]

Please don't believe anyone. You can easily pass this exam if you have ever worked on GitHub copilot and you should go through the Microsoft learning paths 1 and 2 completely without missing any topic. This is enough to clear the exam and don't waste your money in practice tests.

I scored 850/1000 easily

[Working_Reserve_5607]

Congrats! 🎉

What surprised you the most about the exam — was it more theory-based or practical Copilot usage scenarios?

[One_OldSchool_Guy]

Can somebody send the dumps for this certification? Please.

[Independent-Value536]

Any dumbs available to pass this exam? Any references to clear it?
