Hi,
I am a no-code Web Developer and Designer and a Graphic Designer. Recently I've received an invitation to take on a "Web, Mobile & Software Development" Upwork Skill Certification. However, from what I see in the documentation, this Certification is geared mostly for programmers. I develop websites using no-code tools like Webflow, Airtable and unfortunately can not choose any of the existing options.
I do, however, feel that I can qualify for the UI/UX and Graphic Design Certifications in the Design&Creative category.
Is there a way to change the category? It's great to receive an invite and showcase my skills to the client but it's sad that the current category doesn't match what I do.
Thanks!
Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi Pradeep, thank you for replying,
My intention with the previous post was to reach the community for help in case this was a common issue that could be fixed easily. That way, I could resolve the support ticket and avoid overloading the support team with unnecessary work. With your reply, I infer this problem might not be that trivial so I'll just wait for the support team to reach me back when appropiate.
Once again, thank you, and sorry for any inconveniences.

Hey,
I received an invitation from Upwork to complete skill assessment but somehow I was not able to get the email after accepting it. After some time I again tried to accept the invitation but it is showing "No Pending Invitations!". I want to get the email on my new added email address. Is it possible to do so, if not then how can I access the assessment? I will be grateful if someone provide the answer as I am eager to complete it and grow on this platform.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Miguel,
Upwork Skill Certifications in Web & Mobile Software Development test for individual proficiency in a particular language or technology. Assessment methodology varies by skill, using a combination of timed, proctored tests and in some cases, technical interviews. As an added benefit for earning a skill certification in the Web, Mobile & Software Development category, you'll receive a one-time bonus of 80 Connects. Learn more about the certification process here.
At this time you cannot request to be invited to complete a skill certification. For the best chance of being invited in the future, we suggest you achieve a solid reputation, keep a complete and up-to-date profile that is not set to private, and maintain an active Upwork account in good standing. Completing a skill certification in your primary field is required before applying to our Talent Scout program.

Hello Upwork Community,
I was wondering if there's an issue with my account because I received a message telling me that I'm now a part of the Talent Pool program, but I don't see any changes on my profile or in my interface. I was told by the interviewer that there will be a button I would be able to click and browse "special" jobs reserved only for those in the program.
Thanks in advance,
Bosko

Hi Bosko,
Thank you for your message. The attached message was sent to notify of the Upwork skill certification badge added to your Upwork profile. You can view the badge on your Upwork profile in the Certification sections. I see that you are already communicating with the Talent team via a support ticket. Please don't hesitate to follow up with them on the same support ticket if you have additional questions regarding your concern. You can also view and respond to the support ticket from the email notification sent to your registered email address.
Thank you,
Pradeep

Hi I just got an invitation to give skill test, however I am also a part of an agency. If I leave the agency will it affect my invitation to master skill.

Hi Anoosha,
Thank you for reaching out. Leaving the agency would not affect your invitation to the skill test.

I think there should be a certification or an education area for Freelancers in Upwork. Freelancers have to upskill consistently in order to stay competitive. This can be easily integrated with Udemy for certification. Or a diploma for finishing a bootcamp in Big Data Development or Fullstack Development courses.
Just thinking out loud.
Mar 8, 2023 02:57:31 PM by Christine A
Upwork already has this kind of certification available through Credly; you can find it towards the bottom of your profile. They also have their own skill certifications and expert-vetted programme, although these are invitation-only.

Hi Upwork, i just received an exclusive invitation for upwork skill certification, i am worried i won't be able to participate in it untill 23 march because i am on a remote area for some private work, will the invitation expires on near date, or i can still participate after 23 march. please help.
Mar 14, 2023 10:18:23 PM by Joanne P
Hi Bilal,
Once you accept the invite, you will have two weeks to take the first test. I can’t guarantee your ongoing eligibility or test availability at a future date. However, if it isn’t too far in the future, you have the best chance of still being able to participate. Feel free to respond to the same notification to reactivate the link if it expires so our team can assist you further.

I'm in need of some urgent help regarding my Upwork certification verification pending issue. I've been waiting for my Inbound Certificate to be verified for over two weeks now. Upwork states that it typically takes around 2-5 days for certification verification, but my status is still showing as pending even after this much time has passed.
Is there anyone who can assist me with this problem? I would greatly appreciate any guidance or support to get my certification verified as soon as possible.
Thanks
Mar 15, 2023 02:39:16 AM by Miguel H
Hello Walid, it may not be the same. But, I had a similar problem with another certificate. What worked for me was reaching out to Upwork support and creating a ticket, 2 to 3 hours later my certificate was verified.
Mar 15, 2023 03:49:34 AM by Walid H
Oh, Thanks a lot for your response, let's see if anyone may help me here in this community.
Mar 15, 2023 09:11:28 AM by Annie Jane B

Hello Upwork support,
I took the Hubspot Academy exam and earned the Hubspot Design Certification and added it to my Upwork profile. But more than a month has passed and Upwork has not verified it yet. When will it be verified?
