MuleSoft is developing a new exam - the MuleSoft Certified Developer L2 for Mule 4. The
MuleSoft certification team is looking for qualified subject matter experts (SMEs) to bring their

remote workshops that are flexible in time resulting in the creation, technical review, and scoring
of exam questions.

will be asked to provide general demographic details; details on your knowledge in specific areas
that will be tested; and your availability for the general timeframe that workshops will take place.
This survey can be shared with MuleSoft employees, partners, and customers. Come join us!
