The Terraform Associate 003 is an upcoming certification for Cloud Engineers specializing in operations, IT, or development who know the basic concepts and skills associated with HashiCorp Terraform. This person understands the difference in functionality between Terraform Cloud, Terraform Enterprise, and open source Terraform.
The draft Terraform Associate 003 exam’s objectives are listed below, and dedicated study materials are coming soon. The objective differences between the (existing 002 exam and the upcoming 003 exam) versions are a reorganization and rewording of objectives to comfortably cover recent and future Terraform product growth.
The Terraform Associate 002 certification is still relevant and will be accepted as a validation of Terraform knowledge until each individual badge’s expiration date. Receiving a Terraform Associate 003 certification will not impact any existing Terraform Associate 002 credentials, and a single candidate can hold both at the same time. However, either certification alone can be used to validate Terraform knowledge at the associate level.
