Recommend allocating 1 hour daily to complete the course in 8 days.

Though you can attempt the online exam anytime as per your convenience, we highly recommend attempting the exam within 10 days of course completion, as the subject will be fresh in your mind, and you get sufficient time to prepare/revise as well.

Followed by the certification session, an exam will be conducted for a total of 100 marks.

You need to acquire 60+ marks to clear the exam.

If you fail to acquire 60+marks, you can retake the exam after one day.

The maximum number of retakes will be three.

If you fail to acquire 60+ marks even after three attempts, then you need to contact us to get assistance for clearing the exam.
