Questions
Do I have to buy the learning to sit the assessment?
At Expert, no — Certification and Certification Plus both include the full learning content. The Challenge route, for practitioners who already know the material, is offered at Professional and Specialist only.
Is one option a better certification than another?
No. Certification and Certification Plus are two ways to prepare for one credential. What changes is the preparation and support you buy, never what you end up holding.
Do I need Professional before Specialist?
Yes. Each certification assumes the one below it, which is what makes the credential mean the same thing whoever holds it. Professional is open entry.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes, and the total is always shown with it. Specialist is $895 in one payment or 3 of $315; Expert is $2,495 or 6 of $449; the Complete Pathway is $3,150 or 12 of $290.
How long do I have?
Twelve months of access on both routes. Intakes open 1 January, 1 April, 1 July, 1 October, and booking in the 30 days before one lets you start immediately at the Early Access rate.
Does the credential expire?
It is renewed every three years, so what an employer checks is current rather than historical. Renewal is $99 at Professional, $295 at Specialist and $695 at Expert.
How does an employer check my certificate?
Every certificate carries a unique ID and a QR code that resolve on our verification page. No account, no login, and only the six fields a credential check should disclose.
I already hold one certification. What does the next one cost?
Add it within 90 days of certifying and you pay the balance of the pathway rather than the full standalone price.
Can my employer buy seats for a team?
Yes. Seats carry the identical credential at the same standard; volume changes the seat price, never the certification. Private cohorts and Corporate Academy delivery are priced separately, because what they add is delivery.
