What does the exam include?

Each certification exam includes:

  • 80 questions

  • scenario-based questions

  • knowledge validation questions

  • practical concept evaluation

Questions are designed to assess both theoretical understanding and real-world decision making.


How long does the exam take?

Each certification exam has a time limit of 120 minutes (2 hours).

The timer begins as soon as you start the exam.

While you have the full two hours available, many learners complete the exam faster. Most candidates finish the exam in about 45–60 minutes.

What score is required to pass?

To pass the certification exam, you must achieve a score of 85% or higher.

If you reach the required score, your professional certification will be issued automatically.
