How much time do I have to complete the exam?

The time limit depends on your certification tier:

Tier

Time limit

Foundational

55 minutes

Professional

80 minutes

Speciality

85 minutes

A timer will appear once the exam begins and will display the remaining time.


Should I plan my exam session in advance?

Yes. It is recommended to start the exam when you have enough uninterrupted time to complete it.

Before starting the exam, make sure you:

  • have a stable internet connection

  • can focus without interruptions

  • have enough time to complete the assessment for your tier

This helps ensure the best possible exam experience.


What is the expected time commitment for certification?

While the exam itself takes under 90 minutes for any tier, most learners spend several days preparing before attempting certification.

Preparation often includes reviewing recommended courses and revisiting key concepts related to the certification.
