Tableau certification guide: Cost, training, salaries, and value

According to Pearson VUE’s latest Value of IT Certification Survey, individuals pursue certification for a variety of reasons, but the most prominent are to obtain particular skills, knowledge, or competencies (73%); enhance their professional profiles (56%); and to advance and be promoted (56%). Twenty-eight percent of respondents told Pearson VUE that they received a salary or wage increase after earning certification. Tableau’s certifications, in particular, focus on performance-based testing rather than theory in an effort to verify a candidate’s ability to apply the subject matter in a real work environment. Tableau says more than 20,000 people have earned more than 25,000 overall Tableau Certification titles.
