Overview
When students get Junior Certification, it demonstrates their aptitude, skills, and experience, not only with using Arduino components, but with programming and the subject matters they have learned. Junior Certification also provides educators and parents with an opportunity to assess their students’ or child’s level.
Junior Certification is the first tier in the Arduino Certification Program, which enhances students’ personal skills while providing official recognition throughout their development.
The exam is multiple-choice and taken online, and provides official certification for those aged 14+ on knowledge of Arduino-related electronics and programming.
The exam is based on topics covered by the Arduino Student Kit and the Education Starter Kit (you only need to use one of these kits, not both). Topics covered include electricity, circuits and schematics, Arduino IDE and boards, electronic components, and programming. The more students have used the kit, the better their chances of gaining Junior Certification are.
The exam is available in English.
What is Junior Certification?
Junior Certification is an online multiple-choice exam that can be completed from any computer with access to the Internet. It consists of 25 questions with a 60-minute time limit.
Students receive their results immediately after submission, indicating whether they passed or failed. Passing the exam will grant students the Arduino Junior Certification certificate.
There are two ways to gain Junior Certification:
- Arduino Junior Certification Bundle: Includes the Arduino Student Kit, access to the online exam and one attempt to pass the exam. This option costs €73,50 / USD 86,20 (before tax).
- Online access to the exam only: This option includes access to the online exam with one attempt to pass the exam and costs €20 / USD 20 (before tax).

… about the value of air quality, while simultaneously introducing them to some core STEM concepts, Arduino has you covered. The Arduino Greenhouse Kit and the Arduino Explore IoT Kit include experiments involving air quality, allowing users to build their own sensors and tracking tools to measure a range of data points like humidity, moisture, and the presence of particles like CO2. These projects both work using the Arduino MKR IoT Carrier Rev2, which has a VOC sensor. Use AI to monitor air quality [October 10, 2024 update] The Nicla family now includes the Arduino Nicla Sense Env, ready to provide real-time data on air quality – monitoring temperature and humidity and detecting TVOCs, NO2, O3, and other gasses – both indoors and outdoors, thanks to AI-ready Renesas sensors.

FAQs
Can I use the Arduino Education Starter Kit instead of the Student Kit for Junior Certification?
Yes, you can use the Arduino Education Starter Kit to pass Junior Certification. However, since the Arduino Education Starter Kit is designed to be reused year after year, we don’t sell this kit as a bundle with the Junior Certification. You can, however, buy the exact number of certifications you need for each class separately each year.
Will Junior Certification be available in any other languages?
Yes, we plan for more languages to be available soon.
Is there an age limit to take the Junior Certification exam?
The recommended age is 14+. However, to have an Arduino account, candidates must be at least 16 years, and they will need parental or legal guardian consent if they are under 18, or in some countries if they are under 21. Alternatively, students under 16 can use Google, Apple, Facebook and GitHub Accounts to sign in to Arduino.
