The TCA-C01 exam is the official Tableau exam behind Tableau Certified Architect — passing it earns you the Tableau Certified Architect certification, a credential positioned at the Expert level. It is built for candidates who want to validate the skills measured by Tableau Certified Architect. Depending on your track, the exam is also linked to the Tableau Certified Consultant and Tableau Server Certified Professional certifications, so one pass can move you toward more than one Tableau credential.

The TCA-C01 exam presents 60-80 questions to be completed within 120 minutes. That pace leaves little room for second-guessing: read each question carefully on the first pass, flag the ones you want to revisit, and keep moving instead of stalling on a single item. Before exam day, run at least one full timed session in the TestSimulate desktop or online test engine with a comparable question load — a steady rhythm under the clock is a trainable skill, and it is often what separates a pass from a near miss.

To pass the TCA-C01 exam you need 750/1000 or 63%, and the official registration fee is USD 250. Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee again in full — retakes are not discounted. Given the cost, self-test before you book: if you can score comfortably above the passing mark on two or three consecutive timed TestSimulate practice tests, your budget is far better spent on the exam itself than on a retake.

No formal prerequisites; recommended 1+ year hands-on experience with Tableau Server/Cloud and enterprise deployments Because Tableau revises its certification programs from time to time, treat this as a starting point rather than the final word. Confirm the current eligibility requirements on the official Tableau exam page before you register.
