How do I access my exam?
Please see the separate Using Webassessor how-to guide.
How do I take another exam attempt?
Each exam purchased provides a single attempt. If you want to take another exam attempt, follow the instructions to purchase the exam again.
How much do the exams cost?
You pay for each exam attempt. We recommend that you review the exam blueprint before taking the exam to ensure you have the knowledge required to pass the exam.
Exam charges are as follows:
Associate/Operator – US$ 29.00 per attempt.
Professional/Administrator – US$ 69.00 per attempt.

Learners with a paid learning subscription are provided exam vouchers to redeem for the exam attempts.
How can I obtain an Invoice/Tax Receipt for the Exam Purchase?
Please see the instructions under the Obtaining Tax Receipt section of the Using Webassessor how-to guide.
If you are having difficulties downloading the receipt, as the transaction is between you and Kryterion, you will need to contact Kryterion Support directly using the Live Chat or Email Support button to request an invoice/tax receipt.
Are exams included with courses/workshops?
No. Our new certification program is completely separate from the learning program. Learners can study however they wish and then take the exams. If the learner has access to a paid learning subscription via their organization, they can apply for exam vouchers that are included with the learning subscription. Otherwise, learners can pay for their exam attempts via the examination system.
