January 12, 2018 at 8:55 pmI am curious as to how much the exam will cost.
According https://certification.unity.com/products/expert-gameplay-programmer in Canada it is listed in 349, the same as US price. Is the price listed in USD?

January 12, 2018 at 6:18 pmHi. There have been a few questions about the registration process on Pearson VUE. Please note that the Unity Certification ID they ask for is an identifier unique to an account in the Pearson VUE system. This ID is NOT related to the Unity Certified Developer exam. First-time users of the Pearson VUE service should choose the “No, I do not know my Unity Certification ID” option when registering. Once you have a Unity Certification ID for the Pearson VUE system, you can use it to sign in to Pearson VUE to schedule or view the results of an exam.
