As Pega comes closer to announcing the Pega Infinity '25 general availability to our shared clients, it becomes essential that partners keep up with the latest product features and stay current on the product capabilities. Per the skills currency requirements and step up schedule in the Pega Partners Program, by June 30th partners must upgrade their certifications to Infinity ’24.1 in order to qualify for program distinctions.
This blog post outlines everything you need to know about skills currency requirements and certification steps for your team's success in the path to Pega Infinity ’25.
Currency in Pega Infinity ’24.2
Pega Infinity ’24.2 represents our latest platform release available for certification, introducing significant enhancements to user experience, decision management capabilities, and GenAI functionalities.
For professionals who have completed the relevant role-based mission for Infinity ’23 and the ’24.1 Ready mission, the transition to version ’24.2 is designed to be efficient and focused on new capabilities rather than relearning fundamentals. If the professional starts from an earlier version, there will be more content to cover. Although 23.1 currency is required for June 2025, if users are on previous versions, going straight to the ’24.2 is the most recommended path.
Skills Currency Requirements
As noted in the 2025 Partner Program Guide, below are the skills currency requirements to ensure partners are eligible for program distinctions:
-
June 30th, 2025: 70% of relevant staff must be current on Pega Infinity ’24.1
-
December 31st, 2025: 75% of relevant staff must be current on Pega Infinity ’24.2
-
June 30th, 2026: 75% of relevant staff must be current on Pega Infinity ’25.1
This schedule provides partners with time to plan and execute their training strategies while ensuring that by 2026, your delivery teams are fully versed in the latest Pega capabilities.
