Transitioning from Lead Architect to Core Platform Architect

rhugie​  - 2 Questions from my end on transitioning process that needs OneStream GES team help to provide clarity on the new training to be taken by already certified lead architects and also for future lead architects (getting certified by December 2025)

1) For OneStreamers prepping with existing format OCP – Lead Architect exam, 60days means end of December 2025, after they pass this exam whether they have to still take Design Decisions Instructor-led course training to keep it valid for next 2 years on or before (till December 2027)

"
What if I have been preparing for the OCP – Lead Architect exam, and am NOT yet certified?

Candidates that have been preparing for the Lead Architect will still be able to take the exam for 60 calendar days after the release of the OCP – Core Platform Architect exam.
"
2) OnePoint System - If OneStreamers have 40 points accumulated points and can use them for extending their certification do they still need to take Design Decisions Instructor-led course training to keep it valid for another next 2 years on or before (till December 2029)

• Which activities are OnePoints-eligible?

  Visit the OnePoints webpage on the Certification website for more details on the program, including a complete list of OnePoints-eligible activities and the associated number of OnePoints.

   

  How does it work?

  • Earn Forty (40) OnePoints to renew or extend any OneStream Certification
  • Points can be accrued over a 24-month period  

  Certified individuals will accrue OnePoints and track their own balances and evidence (certificate, confirmation email, etc.) over 24-months. Points are based on participation in instructor-led courses and select OneStream sponsored activities (i.e., Splash Workshops, WAVE, facilitating a technical webinar, OneStream Press author, and more!). 

  Once the required number of OnePoints is achieved, you will:

  • Submit a case in the ServiceNow portal
  • Select “Credentialing”
  • Provide evidence documenting the 40 OnePoints you have earned (can be course completion certificate, CPE certificate, dates, and times of webinars, etc.; full list of accepted evidence is published on the OnePoints page of the Certification Program website)
  • The Certification Team will validate the evidence and extend your Certification expiration date by an additional 24-months in CertMetrics
  • This also updates your Digital Credential at Credly
  • Please only submit evidence when you have completed 40 OnePoints. We are unable to accept and track incomplete submissions.

   

  What if I have questions?

  Contact the Certification Team by submitting a ServiceNow case to Credentialing.
