Which DevOps Artisan Exams Can You Take Online?

Can you take DevOps Artisan exams online from home?

Yes - all six of them, verified exam by exam. Pearson's live BITTNET registration flow lists exactly six public DevOps Artisan exams, and the delivery-models step for each one was opened in a real browser on 2026-10-07: A1-001 (id 44244), A2-001 (id 44801), DO1-001 (id 44243), DO2-001 (id 44800), R1-001 (id 44242), and R2-001 (id 44799) each presented both "In-person at a test center" and "Online with OnVUE". Underneath the per-exam checks sit Pearson's DevOps Artisan program page - which offers online or in-person scheduling at registration - and the program's dedicated OnVUE page with the full at-home minimums. The at-home route is a real proctored sitting with a strict environment bar, and failing that bar on exam day can cancel the exam and forfeit the fee.

The verified delivery map: all six public exams

The table below comes from a fresh pull of Pearson's live BITTNET registration flow in a real browser on 2026-10-07 - all six public exam codes exactly as the flow lists them. Every row carries the strongest public evidence tier: that exam's own delivery-models step was opened the same day and presented both delivery options. There is no catalog-listed straggler in this program - the map is six for six.

One distinction belongs next to the map: the delivery question and the gate question are separate for the professional rows. A2-001, DO2-001, and R2-001 are bookable online like the others, but Bittnet's DevOps Hub states that each professional exam requires the matching active associate certification before Pearson opens scheduling - so the route choice only becomes real for those exams after the associate credential exists.

How to verify your exam's delivery options yourself

The check takes two minutes and uses Pearson's own pages. Open the DevOps Artisan program page on pearsonvue.com, follow the View exams link into the registration flow, and find your exam code on the public list - the same six-row catalog this page mirrors. Selecting an exam opens a delivery-models step that names the options available for that exact code: "In-person at a test center", "Online with OnVUE", or both.

That per-exam step is the evidence that matters, because program-level statements can lag catalog reality in either direction - and because your own account is the final arbiter. When you sign in and schedule, the delivery models shown for your exam, your region, and your date are the operative answer.

Run the OnVUE system test at the same sitting. Pearson offers it from the dedicated DevOps Artisan OnVUE page, it takes minutes, and it answers the second half of the delivery question - not "can this exam run online" but "can this exam run online on my machine, on my network, in my room."

What the OnVUE route requires

The at-home option is a real proctored sitting with a published environment bar, not a loose take-home quiz. Pearson's dedicated DevOps Artisan OnVUE page lists the minimums: Windows 10 or macOS 14 or higher; a working webcam, microphone, and speaker with no headphones or headsets; one display screen only - multi-monitor setups are not permitted; a stable connection of at least 6 Mbps down and 2 Mbps up; and every application except OnVUE closed. Pearson warns plainly that failing the minimums on exam day can result in immediate cancellation and forfeiture of the exam fee.

The prohibited-technology list is equally concrete: no virtual machines or beta operating systems, no phones, tablets, headphones, earbuds, styluses, or watches, no smart devices with recording or AI features, no secondary or touchscreen displays, and no VPNs, corporate networks, or public or shared networks. The desk holds the testing computer, pre-approved items and comfort aids, and a beverage in an unmarked container - nothing else within reach - and the room must be quiet and private, with bathrooms, offices, libraries, and coffee shops explicitly prohibited as testing spaces.

Identification follows Pearson's accepted list: an international passport, a plastic driver's license, a national, state, provincial, or EU ID card, an alien registration card, an approved Aadhaar card, a non-US military ID, or a Japanese employee or student ID paired with a health insurance eligibility certificate. The pre-exam system test runs on the same device and network you will use on exam day, with a restart to free resources - the boring fifteen minutes that protects the voucher price.

When the test-center route fits better

The in-person option exists for a reason, and choosing it is a logistics decision rather than a compliance one. A center sitting makes sense when the home machine cannot meet the single-display or closed-application rules, when the connection cannot hold 6 Mbps down and 2 Mbps up through a full sitting, when the only available network is a corporate or VPN-routed one, or when the room itself cannot be controlled for the exam window. The published voucher price is the same either way - USD 180 at Pearson's official list - so the decision costs nothing extra in exam fees.

The rules that do not change between routes: the same six exam codes, the same 90-minute sittings, the same BITTNET account flow, the same professional-tier gates, and the same credential at the end. What changes is only where the proctoring happens and which environment - theirs or yours - has to pass inspection. For engineers whose daily setup is exactly what OnVUE prohibits - dual monitors, work VPN, a VM lab - the center route removes the whole environment question in one move.

Get the Sitting Handled on Either Route

If the delivery rules are the hard part - the single-display rule, the closed-application sweep, the VPN prohibition on a work machine, the active-associate gate on the professional tier, or simply the calendar - Exam Assist handles DevOps Artisan sittings end to end on either route: exam-code confirmation against Pearson's live list, a delivery-route compliance check, scheduling coordination, and the proctored sitting itself. The service fee is due only after the agreed result posts. Send the exam code, your delivery preference, and your deadline for an honest feasibility answer, and the team will tell you plainly whether the engagement fits.
