Pega 7.3 LSA Certification Path- Timelines Clarification-Gap between the 3 ladders
Hi All,
As per recent changes,we know that to achieve LSA Certfication,there are some pre-requisites.
Now,i have one more question.
There are 3 layers involved to acheive LSA.
1.Lead System Architect Readiness Exam
2. Pega Architecture Exam
3. LSA 7.3 Architecture Application Build
I want to know the timelines for the exams.
For Example,if i take the "Lead System Architect Readiness Exam" in January,2018.
Then i can take Pega Architecture Exam in June 2018.
Finally,taking the LSA 7.3 Architecture Application Build in December 2018.
Is above gap between the exams is allowed?
Just a query.If anyone knows pls,let me know.
Thanks,
Karthik Kumaran S

Hello,
Thanks for your question.
You have a maximum of 3 months from the time you pass one LSA exam to take the next exam. If you do not take an exam within 3 months of passing the previous exam, you will be required to retake the previous exam.
This question, as well as other frequently asked CLSA exam questions, is posted on our Certification FAQ page at: https://academy.pega.com/help/certification-faqs
Thank you

I have read the post and FAQs and have one doubt, whether 'Taking an exam' and 'Passing the exam' has same relevance in the context of Retaking Policy.
Suppose I pass LSA Readiness Exam on day 1, then I appear for LSA Architecture exam on 90th day but failed to clear it. Since 3 months is already past, will the 3 time retake policy in 12 month period holds good for reappearing for LSA Architect exam? Can I retake the Architect exam again since I failed though 90 days is over? Or, even the Readiness exam is lapsed?
Request your clarification please...

You can attempt your Architect exam again if you did your 1st attempt within 3 months of passing the LSA Readiness exam. You will not need to retake your LSA Readiness exam.

Recent update on the maximum amount of time between LSA exams: From the Certification FAQ: After passing the LSA Readiness exam, there is no specific time period that you are required to take the Pega Architecture exam and the LSA Architecture Application Build.

However, we highly recommend that you take the Application Build within 6 months of passing the Pega Architecture exam.

Thanks for the info. But still community has marked 3 month time frame as Correct answer.
It would be better if Pega community moderators update the recently updated timelines as correct answer.
