Note from the vendor record: Being superseded: the official page carries a banner — "An updated (English) version of this exam is now available: AD0-E216 Adobe Analytics Business Practitioner Expert" — and states rescheduling of existing AD0-E208 appointments is available only up to September 27, 2026, so AD0-E208 is effectively replaced by AD0-E216 in 2026 (a Japanese version AD0-E208-J is also listed). Official cert name is "Adobe Analytics Business Practitioner Expert" (Adobe Certified Expert tier, Expert level, 1-3 years' experience). No training prerequisite; recommended experience includes 2 years in digital analytics and at least one year of Adobe Analytics hands-on. Delivery: online proctored (Excelsoft easyProctor), English and Japanese. Renewal: certifications expire after two years and can be renewed free by passing two short (~15 minute) renewal modules; expired credentials require retaking and paying for the exam. Retakes: 24-hour wait after first failure, then 15 calendar days, each attempt charged. Official exam page
