How long is the credential valid?

Your credential is valid for 24 months from the issue date. Renewal is by attestation; no continuing-education hours are currently required.

Can I retake the exam if I do not pass?

Yes. If your attempt does not meet the passing standard, you receive a score report and can schedule a retake. Retake fees, if any, are configured per program.

Where can my credential be verified?

Every credential is publicly verifiable at a unique URL on this site. Recipients also receive an Open Badges 2.1 assertion they can share to LinkedIn or any badging platform that supports the open standard.
