Candidates must achieve a minimum passing score of 70% on each exam and may retake exams until passed. Each exam is timed for one hour.

Once all exams are passed, your Certificate of Completion may be downloaded as a PDF under the “Achievements” tab on Litmos’ LMS. Certificates print on standard 8.5×11” paper using most color printers.
