The official MuleSoft Certified Platform Architect - Level 1 blueprint is split into 4 domains, starting with Integration Architecture & Design, Security and Governance, API Design and Management. The percentages tell you where the exam concentrates its questions, so budget your study time accordingly — the complete outline above lists every domain and subtopic.

The MuleSoft Certified Platform Architect - Level 1 is MuleSoft's official exam for the MuleSoft Certified Platform Architect - Level 1 certification, positioned at the Professional level. It is the credential hiring managers scan for, and passing it proves your skills meet the vendor's own standard. It also links to related certifications like MuleSoft Certified Developer - Level 1, MuleSoft Certified Integration Architect - Level 1, so this exam can serve as a building block in a longer certification plan.

Registration goes through the vendor's official channels:

• Salesforce Credentials Portal

Worth knowing before you book: the MCPA-Level-1 exam is delivered Online proctored exam (closed-book), so pick the delivery option that works best for you.

The official registration fee is $400 USD, and you will need 70% to pass. Here is the part people forget: fail, and the retake costs the same full fee again — there is no discount for a second attempt. Drill with the 154 practice questions from ExamPrepAway until your scores are consistently past the mark, and only then spend that fee.
