Unable to take Arduino junior certification due to age?

Hello all, I am a 12 year old hobbyist and I have been wanting to certify myself as an Arduino developer. However, I cannot take this examination until I am 14. May I know why this age limit exists and how I may be able to take the examination?

Presumably to do with child protection, etc, laws around the world?

ADDED:

See under "Minors" in the Privacy Policy:

it's actually 16... the FAQ states:

you'll have to wait a bit - it's cool to see you are eager to go for it. The important part is to develop skills and have fun with projects.

Hmm - more inconsistencies? :thinking:

The main page says 14:

ADDENDUM:

Looks like the FAQ is out-of-date - from before this "new" Junior Cert was introduced?

As far as I can see -

  • The junior cert. age limit is 14.
  • The regular cert. age limit is the legal coming of age in your country

Thanks!

@arduinomega123,

I've moved your topic as this seems like a better place for it.

Good luck in learning Arduino and I hope to see some interesting projects from you in future :slight_smile:
