Embarcadero and Embarcadero Academy does not certify or represent that the individual has the necessary skills or qualities for a particular project or a particular employer. Since the Delphi Certified Developer exam is taken un-proctored and online by the individual, Embarcadero cannot ensure that the individual taking the Delphi Certified Developer exam is in fact the actual individual named in the test certification.

NOTE: If you take the exam and do not pass with an 80% or greater score, we do offer discounted re-takes. If you do not pass the first time and wish to purchase a re-take, we do recommend further studying between exams. Discounted re-take information is provided to you after the exam if you do not pass.
