Step 2: Creating Your Exam Blueprint

💡 After creating your account, you'll land directly in Authoring → Exam Blueprints. This is your starting point for exam development — everything begins here now.

❓ Why does exam development start with the Blueprint now?

The blueprint is the structural backbone of your exam — topics, weights, and item distribution all live there. Rather than making you build a JTA in one place and then hunt for the blueprint section afterward, the platform now starts you at the blueprint and lets you build (or link) a JTA as part of that single flow. Same ingredients, one continuous path — this removes the manual navigation between steps that previously made the process feel disjointed.

2.1 From Authoring → Exam Blueprints, click the "Create Blueprint" button, found under the text: "Start your exam blueprint — Create your exam structure by defining topics, weights, and item distribution."

2.2 You'll be presented with three paths to create your blueprint:

  • Start with a new JTA: Create a Job Task Analysis to power your blueprint. AI can suggest a job role description and generate JTA tasks.
  • Start with an existing JTA: Use an existing Certiverse Job Task Analysis to create your blueprint. AI can generate topic descriptions from the JTA.
  • Start from scratch: Begin with a blank blueprint and define topics and weighting yourself. You can also import topics to get started quickly.
❓ Which path should I choose?

If this is a new certification program, choose Start with a new JTA — the JTA is the evidence that your exam measures a real job role, and every downstream piece (topics, weights, items) traces back to it. Start with an existing JTA is for programs that already validated a job role in Certiverse. Start from scratch skips job analysis entirely — it's faster, but you lose the defensibility that a JTA provides. For high-stakes certifications, a JTA-backed blueprint is strongly recommended.
