Licensing authority: Cloudera · Application information

Initial by examination
CDP-3003 CDP Data Operator Exam
Award
Pass the CDP-3003 examination to earn this role-based certification; the beta notice explicitly permits certification on passing. CDH/HDP credentials do not transfer automatically into CDP certification.
Evidence Claim Ids
["cdp3003-route-adoption","cdp3003-route-conditions","cdp3003-registration"]
Exam Rules
Online proctored and closed book; no outside resources. The proctor checks identity documentation, absence of other people and absence of notes.
Holder Validity
An earned CDP certification is valid for two years; this is not a retirement date for the examination version.
Registration
Purchase the designated exam through Cloudera, then use the emailed instructions to schedule through Questionmark. Individual dates and times remain subject to the limited number of available daily timeslots; no seat reservation was made and no seat guarantee is inferred for 2026-11-25 through 2027-02-28.
Rescheduling
Cancel the existing reservation before rescheduling; the dedicated CDP FAQ allows this up to 24 hours before the start time.
Retakes
A failed candidate must wait seven calendar days beginning the day after the failed attempt and pay for every attempt. Retakes are prohibited after passing. The dedicated CDP policy controls instead of the legacy thirty-day CCA/CCP policy.
Technical Preparation
Complete Zoom installation, communication/bandwidth system testing and review of the exam process 48 hours before the appointment if possible.
Training
Suggested courses are optional; hands-on experience is highly recommended. The audience description specifies expected skills, not an additional prerequisite examination. The published path does not impose school enrollment or institution-arranged testing.
