IBM Certified Architect - Cloud Pak for Data V4.7
IBM professional certification for designing hybrid-cloud Data and AI solutions and planning Cloud Pak for Data V4.7 implementations.
Licensing authority: IBM
Initial by examination
- Certification Agreement
- Accept the IBM Certification Agreement before issuance and comply with independent-testing policies.
- Identity
- The Credly criteria row says v4.6 but uses C1000-173; its own badge description and IBM's controlling current requirements and code-specific exam record say V4.7. The current required-exam evidence resolves this isolated row wording; it is not a second exam or route.
- Preparation
- On-the-job experience is presumed and courses are recommended; the Study Guide assessment advice concerns preparedness. IBM's current Requirements lists C1000-173 only, and the current page expressly describes an Assessment Exam as gauging preparedness. No separate required assessment examination is created.
- Registration
- Register with Pearson VUE; accounts, available appointments, delivery eligibility and seats apply. Online delivery requires a suitable system, internet and private environment. Actual methods appear at examination selection. No school-arranged route is evidenced.
- Validity
- Both exam and credential are Live with null published retirement boundaries; the listed successor credential is not itself a withdrawal date. Appointment availability during the requested horizon is not guaranteed.
