We’re looking for people who have experience with GitHub administration to take our new beta exam. Do you have subject matter expertise in supporting GitHub Enterprise for users and key stakeholders, managing user identities and GitHub authentication, and describing how GitHub is deployed, distributed, and licensed? Are you responsible for managing access and permissions, enabling secure software development, helping to ensure compliance, and managing GitHub Actions?

If this is your skill set, we have a new Certification for you. The GitHub Administration Certification validates your expertise in these areas and offers you the opportunity to prove your skills. To earn this Certification, pass Exam GH-100: GitHub Administration, currently in beta.

Is this the right Certification for you?

This Certification could be a great fit if you’re a system administrator, software developer, application administrator, or IT professional with intermediate-level experience in GitHub Enterprise administration. It highlights your expertise in repository management, workflow optimization, and efficient collaboration to support successful projects on GitHub, along with your ability to optimize and manage a healthy GitHub environment. 

Why earn a GitHub Certification?

GitHub Certifications offer professionals, teams, and organizations a globally recognized way to validate GitHub expertise and to stand out in a rapidly shifting digital landscape. These credentials are a signal of deep technical proficiency, real-world readiness, and alignment with in-demand job roles across the tech ecosystem. Whether you’re an individual looking to boost your career or an enterprise enabling team growth, GitHub Certifications allow you to verify critical skills across the GitHub platform—from foundational collaboration workflows to advanced DevOps practices.

Where can you find GitHub exams and credentials?
