Academy Certification Path

Your Journey to Cognite Flows Builder Certification

This Academy path is designed to guide and equip you with the human-centric methodology and technical mastery required to achieve your Flows Builder Certification.

🚀
Proactive, Not Reactive

Mastery requires moving beyond alarm-response. Learn to build adaptive AI experiences that anticipate industrial needs and scale 100x faster.

👤
Human-Centered AI

Hero status is earned by empowering expertise. Prove your ability to use Atlas AI as a co-pilot for the world's most critical workers.

🏆
The Path to Certification

This learning journey provides the validation framework needed to certify that your data-driven flows create measurable industrial value.

The Roadmap to Mastery

Guidance on the Road to Certification

Phase 01: Strategy
Make the Right Applications

We guide you through the human-centered approach. Ground your design in real user evidence before building, ensuring your app solves the right problem.

→
Phase 02: Execution
Then, Build it Right

The technical path. We equip you with the Cognite Flows toolset and Atlas AI training necessary to pass your final Cognite Flows Certification.

Project Submission

Package and submit your custom-built app code for expert assessment.

6
Assessment - get your certificate

Pass the final evaluation criteria to secure your official certificate and badge.

Enroll in Learning Path
Methodology First

To make it right, we start with the human.

We have prepared a human-centered design (HCD) approach to help you go systematically through all steps before you touch the builder. Watch the introduction to see how this path ensures your app solves real industrial problems.

💡

Why this order?

Flows certification requires you to prove you know who your app is for and what they need to do before showing how it works. Following this sequence is the fastest path to approval.
