The PAQ certification is a three-day, experiential exam preparation course designed to refine practical skills that participants can directly apply in their professional roles.

The examination follows a 'hands-on' format, where candidates are provided with a product backlog release containing user stories, related design documentation, and a 'multi-drop' application intentionally seeded with defects. Participants receive clear instructions on the expectations for the practical assessment and are given the opportunity to produce the required work products. Each assessment includes one or two additional scenario-based questions requiring written responses (up to five questions in total), covering a range of competencies. These written answers are evaluated alongside the product backlog release by an independent assessor. The total assessment duration is 2.5 hours.
