Certification courses in Skillshop contain course modules and one or more assessments. To earn your certification, you’ll need to pass all assessments.
This page provides an overview of how to start and successfully complete your chosen certification course in Skillshop.
Before you begin
To find certifications, go to Browse or Topics and look for learning paths under your chosen topic with the keyword “Certification” on their title. For more filtered results, you can use the search bar. (Learn more about how to navigate Skillshop).

- Scroll down to see modules in the path.
- Click Get Started to begin the course modules. If you are redirected to an assessment, go back to the learning path page and click directly into the modules to learn the course material.
Some certification courses may allow you to skip modules and proceed directly to the certification assessment if you meet a certain score in the pre-assessment knowledge check.
Pause and continue a course
Your progress for each path is automatically saved and you can pause at any time. Here’s how you can continue a paused course:

- Click the course you’d like to continue.
You may see a Resume button if you've already completed modules within your course. If you click Resume, it will bring you back to the last page you viewed on the course.
