EXAM
As an additional benefit of attending SYNERGY this year, individual users have the opportunity to register and take 1 Certification Exam of their choosing. Users wishing to take advantage of this offer, must register for an Exam during the registration process and must complete the exam onsite at SYNERGY. During the conference, Exams will be accessed via the ONESOURCE University Online Learning Platform. Each Exam will take ~120 minutes and consist of randomized single-choice, multiple-choice, and/or matching questions. The pass mark is 80% and candidates will learn if they passed the exam immediately upon completion.
CERTIFICATION
Certification is valid for 2 years. After 2 years, passing a full recertification exam will be required. Successful candidates will be awarded a Certificate for download and will also receive access to electronic Certification badges (for use in email signature, social media profiles (e.g. LinkedIn), etc.).
