Process Mining and Workflow Analysis Certification

The Process Mining and Workflow Analysis Certification is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests process mining and workflow analysis for analysts and improvement professionals — fundamentals (event logs and process discovery), the three core techniques (discovery, conformance checking and enhancement), event data and analysis (case id, activity, timestamp, variants and bottlenecks), and applications and tools (automation opportunities, BPM and continuous improvement). Written to process mining principles and Celonis documentation for 2026. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable Process Mining Proficiency certificate (SOA-PMWA). Every question is based on published standards and research — including Process mining: discovery, conformance and enhancement (van der Aalst) (Process Mining / IEEE Task Force on Process Mining), Celonis process mining and execution management documentation (Celonis) — and each answer is explained with its source.

Science of Apps offers a free Process Mining and Workflow Analysis Certification, updated for 2026 and 2027. It measures fundamentals, techniques, event data and analysis and applications and tools and gives instant results with a shareable certificate.

Read the four skill areas on this page, then take the 20-minute test online — no fee, course or sign-up. You see every answer explained when you finish. Score 70% or more and you get a Process Mining Proficiency certificate straight away, on screen, as a PDF and by email, with a credential ID anyone can verify.

Yes. The questions are original scenarios written by Science of Apps, and each one is based on a public source you can read: Process mining: discovery, conformance and enhancement (van der Aalst) (Process Mining / IEEE Task Force on Process Mining); Celonis process mining and execution management documentation (Celonis). The source is shown under each question and linked in the answer review. Science of Apps doesn't copy questions from other tests.

Four skill areas with five questions each, drawn from a bank of 10 per area so a retake brings new questions: Fundamentals (EventLogs, Discovery and Purpose); Techniques (Discovery, Conformance and Enhancement); Event Data and Analysis (CaseId, Variants and Bottlenecks); Applications and Tools (Automation, BPM and Improvement). Every question is an original scenario written to the 2026–2027 standard, with the published source named under it.

Process or business analyst, Continuous-improvement or Lean Six Sigma practitioner, Data analyst, Operations manager and Process mining specialist. It suits anyone who wants a quick, verifiable way to show Process Mining and Workflow Analysis knowledge in 2026 and 2027, from students and career switchers to experienced professionals.

Process mining uses event data recorded by IT systems to discover, monitor and improve real processes. It builds a model of how a process actually runs from the event log, compares it to the intended process, and highlights bottlenecks, deviations and improvement opportunities.

The three types are discovery (building a process model from an event log), conformance checking (comparing the real process to a reference model to find deviations) and enhancement (extending or improving a model using the event data, for example with performance information).

Yes. The test is online, in English and free everywhere — people take it from India, the US, the UK, Europe, Africa, Latin America and Asia-Pacific. Your certificate is dated with your own local date and can be verified from anywhere at scienceofapps.com/certification/verify/.

20 questions — 5 from each of 4 skill areas — with a 20-minute limit. You need 70% (14 of 20) to pass and 90% for distinction.

We rate it Intermediate: assumes hands-on experience in the role. It has 20 scenario questions — 5 from each of 4 skill areas — and a 20-minute limit. You need 70% (14 of 20) to pass and 90% for distinction.

Nothing. There is no fee to take a test, to receive the certificate, to have it emailed or to verify it, and no sign-up.

On our server, not in your browser. The answers never reach the page until you submit, so a certificate can only be earned by passing. Each certificate gets a unique credential ID stored by Science of Apps.

You see your score for each area and every question with the correct answer and why, with the published source behind it. You can retake after 30 minutes, and the retake draws questions you haven't seen yet.

No. Every certificate is dated, so it always shows when you passed. Retake a test any time for a newer date or a higher score.

Yes. After you pass, Add to LinkedIn opens the Licenses & certifications form with the certificate name, Science of Apps as the issuer, the issue date, your credential ID and the verification link filled in. You can also download it as a PDF or PNG, and it's emailed to you as a PDF.

Every certificate has a credential ID and a QR code. Scanning it, or entering the ID at scienceofapps.com/certification/verify/, shows the holder's name, the certification, the score and the issue date from our records.

No. They are Science of Apps' own assessments of applied skill. They aren't issued by a university or standards body, and they work best alongside a portfolio that shows the skills in real work.
