Certification pathway

The program prepares fellows for these industry certifications. Exams are taken with the certifying body, and exam fees are paid separately.

Email Specialist is the usual starting point. Consultant and developer certifications assume hands-on project experience, so fellows typically take them later.

Prerequisites and requirements

  • Prior experience

    None. Marketing or basic HTML knowledge helps but is not required. Scripting and SQL are taught from the basics.

  • Language

    Good written and spoken English.

  • Equipment

    A laptop or desktop computer and a reliable internet connection. A phone or tablet alone is not enough for the tools used.
