"I had been working as a self-taught web developer for 3 years but struggled to land better opportunities without formal credentials.

Answers to common questions about our competence assessment program
Our assessments typically include a combination of multiple-choice questions, scenario-based problems, and practical tasks. The format varies depending on the subject matter. For technical subjects like web development or data science, you may need to analyze code snippets or solve practical problems. For fields like marketing or project management, you'll encounter case studies and strategic scenarios. Each assessment is designed to thoroughly evaluate your knowledge and practical skills in the subject area.
If you don't achieve the minimum passing score of 60%, you'll receive a detailed breakdown of your performance by topic area, highlighting your strengths and areas for improvement. You can reattempt the assessment after a 14-day waiting period. We recommend using this time to review the topics where you scored lower. There's no limit to the number of attempts, but each new attempt requires a separate payment or an active premium subscription. Alternatively, you might consider taking the corresponding course to strengthen your knowledge before retaking the assessment.
Employers value our certificates equally whether earned through course completion or direct assessment. Both methods demonstrate proficiency in the subject matter. Our assessments are designed with industry input to ensure they test relevant, practical skills that employers seek. Each certificate includes a verification link that employers can use to confirm authenticity and view the skills validated by the assessment. Many employers actually appreciate the initiative shown by professionals who validate their self-taught or experience-based knowledge through assessments.
While we don't provide the exact assessment questions in advance, we do offer free assessment outlines that detail the topics covered, question formats, and example questions for each assessment. These outlines help you determine if the assessment aligns with your skills and prepare accordingly. You can also take a short practice test (10-15 questions) for free to get a sense of the question style and difficulty level. Remember, taking the full assessment is free—you only pay if you pass and want to receive the certification.
Certificates earned through one-time payment have lifetime validity. You'll always have access to download and share them. For certificates earned through the Premium subscription, they remain accessible and valid as long as your subscription is active. If you cancel your subscription, you can convert specific certificates to lifetime validity by making a one-time payment for each certificate you wish to retain. This flexibility allows you to maintain the credentials that are most important to your career even if you decide to end your subscription.
