What’s Sunsetting | Splunk Certified Developer Certification
First, the good news! Splunk offers more than a dozen certification options so you can deepen your knowledge and grow your career potential. Now for the not-so-good news. We are sunsetting the Splunk Certified Developer certification, which means the certification exam will no longer be available after September 30, 2023. If you currently hold the certification/badge, it will remain valid until its current expiration date – but you may want to consider recertifying before the EOL to extend the validity of your certification for another three years.
