- Exam Code: SEA-B01
- Level: Advanced (beta exam version)
- Duration: This beta version is no longer scheduled. Historical beta timing is not displayed on Snowflake's current certification page.

Exam Structure
The SEA-B01 exam evaluates knowledge and practical decision-making across the core objectives defined for the SnowPro Security Engineer certification. New candidates should use the SEA-C01 blueprint.
- Question Types: Beta exam specifications are no longer published on Snowflake's current certification page.

Exam Policies
Before completing SnowPro Security Engineer exam registration, review Snowflake and Pearson VUE rules for appointment changes, cancellations, retakes, identification, and online testing.
- Rescheduling: Pearson VUE test-center appointments must be rescheduled at least 24 hours in advance. OnVUE appointments may be rescheduled before the scheduled appointment time. Snowflake allows a given exam to be rescheduled up to four times.
- Cancellation: Test-center appointments must be cancelled at least 24 hours before the scheduled time. OnVUE appointments may be cancelled before the scheduled appointment time. Late changes or no-shows can forfeit the exam fee.
- Retake Policy: Beta exams may only be taken once by each candidate. New candidates should take the current SEA-C01 production exam.
- Retake Fee: Beta SEA-B01 cannot be retaken. A new production-exam registration requires the applicable current exam fee.
Certification Validity and Renewal Options
After earning the SnowPro Security Engineer credential, certification validity and renewal follow Snowflake's SnowPro recertification policy.
- Validity: Snowflake certifications expire 2 years after the certification is awarded.
- Renewal Options: Before expiration, eligible pathways include earning an equivalent, complementary, or higher-level Snowflake certification or completing one eligible Snowflake Instructor-Led Training course. The full exam can also be retaken during the 6 months before expiration.
Exam Fee
- Base Fee: SEA-B01 is not the current booking version. The current SEA-C01 exam is in the SnowPro Advanced series, whose standard fee is USD 375 per attempt.
- Taxes: Local taxes, currency conversion, and checkout charges can vary by country and payment method. Confirm the final SnowPro Security Engineer certification cost during registration.
- Example (India): The Pearson VUE Snowflake India voucher store currently lists the corresponding SnowPro Advanced exam voucher at USD 300. Country-specific voucher terms apply.

- Pearson VUE Test Center - Take the Snowflake certification exam in person at an authorized Pearson test center.
- Online Proctored Exam (OnVUE) - Take an eligible Snowflake certification exam remotely from a suitable private location under online supervision.
- Online Exam Rules: Pearson VUE requires a private, distraction-free testing space, a compatible computer and internet connection, identity verification, and a successful system test. Candidates are monitored during the session.
- Test Center Rules: Follow the identity, check-in, security, and prohibited-item instructions in your Pearson VUE appointment confirmation.
Exam Registration
Follow these steps to complete SnowPro Security Engineer exam registration using the current SEA-C01 exam rather than SEA-B01:
- Visit the official Snowflake certification registration page: Pearson VUE - Snowflake
- Choose the current SEA-C01 exam in the Snowflake certification portal; SEA-B01 is a legacy/beta code and should not be selected for a new booking.
- Choose an available date and time and review appointment, identification, and system requirements.
- Pay the applicable exam fee or apply an eligible voucher, then confirm and save the booking details.
After Passing the Exam
After successfully earning the SnowPro Security Engineer certification, Snowflake provides score and digital-credential information through its certification process:
- At exam completion, candidates can access a score report showing the exam outcome; beta results are delayed until beta scoring is complete.
- The certification transcript records a passing result and Snowflake's exam delivery process provides score notification.
- Within 5 business days of a passing result, Accredible sends an email so the candidate can accept the digital badge and set up a verifiable Snowflake certification.

- Validates historical SnowPro Security Engineer knowledge and applied Snowflake skills
- Covers practical objectives relevant to Snowflake Security Engineer and related roles
- Uses Snowflake's two-year certification lifecycle and Continuing Education renewal framework
