Be recognized for your hard work: Introducing a new stacked credential, IBM Advocate Plus

If you have earned the latest versions of the IBM Cloud Advocate and IBM Cloud Technical Advocate certifications, congratulations! You’ve automatically earned the new Advocate Plus certification.  It’s part of our growing program of stacked credentials, in which learners automatically gain a third certification when they earn two defined sets of cloud certifications.

Not yet certified as an IBM Cloud Advocate or as an IBM Cloud Technical Advocate? Or have you certified as an Advocate but not yet a Technical Advocate? Now is a great time to register for certifications and earn that additional third credential without an additional exam.

Certify now to close the cloud skills gap, help build cloud services to run in complex environments, be seen as the expert, and differentiate yourself from your competitors.

Watch for more IBM Cloud stacked credentials to be announced in 2023 and 2024.
