In my last post, The Okta certification ladder, I covered the core Okta certifications which can demonstrate your increasing mastery of our favorite IAM platform.
There are three other Okta certs not in that sequence. These can help you differentiate yourself with more niche IAM knowledge and skills. Each of these is a standalone exam with no prerequisites.
- Okta Certified Workflows Specialty. Shows your ability to create and maintain Okta Workflows automations. Some API capabilities are also required. (I passed this one in February 2025.)
Okta Workflows Specialty Certification Exam Study Guide - Okta Certified Access Gateway Specialty. OAG is a reverse proxy allowing you to secure legacy on-premises web apps with Okta and make them available to the outside world.
Okta Certified Access Gateway Specialty Certification Exam Study Guide - Auth0 Certified Developer (formerly known as Okta Certified Developer - Customer Identity Cloud). Auth0 is Okta's CIAM platform for securing customer-facing websites.
