Exams

To ensure integrity of the candidates and our tests, Unqork offers (timed) proctoring to all of our exams.

Yearly recertification after a candidate is already certified is free, but requires continuing education units (CEUs) to remain active.

If a badge holder lets their certification expire without taking CEUs to keep their certification up to date, they will need to retake the exam*.

Additional information:

  • Exams are 4 hours long. If a candidate is unable to complete the exam in the timeframe they will fail.
  • Cost is $250 for the first attempt, $130 for each additional attempt per candidate.
  • Both Professional and Associate exams will be available on 2/1 moving forward. The Expert exam will follow shortly thereafter.
  • Access to exams and how to sign up for them can be found on Unqork’s Academy webpage.

* We will discontinue the ability to take the self-service exam on 1/24/22. All previous started exams must be completed by 1/31/22 or they will be deleted. The new proctored version will be released 2/1/22.
