FAQs
Am I required to take the training courses and hands-on labs to get my certification?
No. The training courses and hands-on labs are not required for you to earn your certification. However, we strongly recommend you attend these sessions as they cover the materials you'll be tested on for your certification exams.
How much does the Technical Certification Month cost?
Normally our certification exams are 188 GBP each, and our online training courses and hands-on labs are 1,500 GBP. However, for the Technical Certification Month, we are offering all registrants complimentary access to the training courses, labs and office hours with a special discount towards each exam you purchase. So you'll be getting the entire certification package during July for only 150 GBP.
If I don’t pass the exam, can I get a refund?
Unfortunately, no. There will be no refunds for failed or incomplete exams. That is why we highly recommend you attend all the courses and labs since they’re designed specifically to help you pass your exam.
Do I have to take the exam in July to get my discount?
No. To get the discount on the exam, you’ll need to purchase your exam before the end of July, but you don’t have to take your test during the month of July. Please keep in mind, however, that you’ll have up to 7 days to complete your exam once you’ve made your purchase.
How long will the exam be?
You'll have up to 90 minutes to complete each exam.
If I don't pass my exam, when am I allowed to retake it again?
If I don’t pass my exam, when am I allowed to retake it again? You may retake an exam after 7 days from the initial date of the previous attempt. Once the 7 days have passed, you may repurchase and retake the exam. You cannot retake an exam that you’ve already passed until you need to either renew your certification and/or a new exam is published in place of the existing exam. You'll still be able to get the discount pricing if you purchase the second exam within the Certification Month. If you purchase after the month is over, the fee per exam will be 188 GBP.
Can I get CPE credits for this programme?
Yes! We’re offering CPE credits for those who complete their online training courses. Once you’ve completed your course training (either on-demand or live training sessions), you’ll receive a certificate of completion. You may take your certificate and submit it yourself to whatever organisation you’re affiliated with for the number of CPE credits indicated on your certificate.
I was unable to finish the requirements before the deadline. Can I please get an extension?
Unfortunately not. Please note that there will be future opportunities to obtain our certifications. We encourage you to stay connected through our social media channels and website for announcements about upcoming programmes.
Which platform are the exams hosted on, and how do I take the test?
All our exams are delivered through Certiverse. You’ll need to visit Proofpoint’s Certiverse page, log into or create an account with Certiverse and purchase/take your exam. The exam will be invigilated online. For more information on rules and restrictions for Certiverse testing, please visit this webpage.
How and when do I get a copy of my certificate/badge?
All passed exams will be issued a certificate/badge in the first week of August via Credly. You’ll receive an email notification from Credly. Once you’ve accepted your badge, log into or create your Credly account, click on the badge itself, navigate to the share button and select download badge/certificate.
Which language are the course materials, hands-on labs and exams hosted in?
