The certification is 100% online and entirely self-paced. Once you enroll, you’ll work through the modules in chronological order and be invited to take part in activities. At the end of each module, you’ll be presented with mandatory exam questions and if you pass all these, you’ll become Messaging Certified!

If you fail the first time around you'll be given the option to retake the exam. If you fail the second attempt, unfortunately, it means you won’t get the certificate. However, all’s not lost, you’ll have still learned LOTS and you’ll be given access to the certification materials for life - so you can brush up on the bits you slipped up on forevermore.
For life! One, one-off payment gives you unlimited to all the certification's content forevermore.
