ArcGIS API for JavaScript and ArcGIS API for Python have more in common than just the abbreviation API. Both are subjects of new specialty certifications available from Esri.

Specialty certifications help students and professionals validate their knowledge of focused topics related to ArcGIS capabilities and technologies. Individuals who want to earn a specialty certification must have already achieved a core Esri Technical Certification at version 10.3 or higher.
