I recently completed the Level 1 certification quizzes. I received an email stating that I scored 92% in the theory section and 89% in the workflow section, which are both well above the 80% passing threshold.
However, the email also included the confusing message: “You need to score more than 80% in both the theory and workflow segments of the quiz” and my certification status does not seem to have updated.
I have attached a screenshot of the email below for reference:
I have already double-checked my n8n instance to ensure that the workflows associated with the test executed successfully without errors.
Based on the screenshot you shared, your scores (92% in theory and 89% in workflow) are indeed above the required 80% threshold, so you’ve successfully passed both sections.
However, the certification process also includes a practical validation step, which seems to be the reason your status hasn’t been updated yet. From the message in your email, it looks like the system did not detect:
Data being fetched from the provided warehouse dataset URL
A notification being sent to the n8n Discord channel
To complete your certification, please make sure you follow these steps carefully:
Use the Webhook URL and Dataset URL provided in your certification registration email
Ensure your workflow correctly fetches data from the dataset.
Add a step to send a notification to the n8n Discord channel as required.
Verify that the workflow executes successfully without errors and all required nodes run properly.
Additionally, double-check the following:
The webhook is triggered using the exact URL from the email
The dataset is being accessed and processed correctly
The Discord node is properly configured and actually sends the message
The workflow execution is visible in your execution logs
Once these steps are completed correctly, the system should automatically validate your submission and update your certification status.
