Upon completion of the webinar series, participants will have access to a multiple-choice exam.
Individuals have two opportunities to pass the exam. A score of 80% must be achieved to pass the exam. The exam must be completed within 60 days of the purchase date. Upon achieving a passing grade, participants receive a certificate valid for two years and can display the relevant certificate logo.
Those who do not pass the exam on their second attempt must re-purchase the program while retaining the Core Certificate. If your Core Certificate expires before you've re-purchased the Advanced Certificate, you will need to purchase and pass the Core Certificate exam before moving forward with the Advanced Certificate.
