One certification. Three ways to prepare.
Every route leads to the same independently assessed Auto DigitID Professional credential. There is no Professional Plus credential and no lesser Professional credential — the support package changes, the credential does not.
The Challenge route
For experienced practitioners, and for eligible Academic Partner learners, who already know this material and want a faster route to assessment.
- Same content, same labsNobody sits an assessment on material they were never given
- 90 days, not 12 monthsA shorter window, so it suits people who are revising rather than learning
- One practice attemptRather than unlimited practice
- Eligibility is checked firstThis route is gated, so it is not simply the cheaper option

Questions
Do I have to buy the learning to sit the assessment?
No. If you already do this work, the Challenge route gives you the same materials on a 90-day window with one practice attempt, from $195 at Professional. The credential you earn is identical.
Is one option a better certification than another?
No. Challenge, Certification and Certification Plus are three 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 the Certification and Plus routes, 90 days on Challenge. 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.
