Please note: Currently, the certification preparation feature is only available to Personal Plan subscribers.

Reviewing certification preparation experiences
See how the certification preparation experience on Udemy can help you:
- Choose the right certification that best aligns with your current role and career goals: explore learning content on Udemy to help you prepare for your certification exams.
- Study and prepare: Once you've selected a certification to prepare towards, you'll need to study and prepare for the exam. Udemy provides a range of courses to support your study and offers a variety of resources to help you prepare, including practice exams and documentation, as part of our courses.
- Stay organized: Keep track of what certifications you are working towards in My certification preparation. To focus your efforts on relevant content, select your certification and go to Learning in progress. Here, you can track your completed content and identify what is remaining for your certification preparation.
- Stay motivated: Set learning events to help you stay motivated towards your learning goal. Remember why you are taking the certification and stay motivated by setting goals and rewarding yourself for your progress.
Remember, getting a certification is a valuable investment in your career, but it requires time and effort to prepare and maintain your certification. Good luck!
Please note: Learners will need to complete their certification exam through the official exam provider across these certifications. Udemy does not provide the certification exam, but rather, focuses on curating the highest quality courses to help your users prepare for and successfully pass their exams.
Will badges be added or removed and how will this impact my current learning?
At Udemy, we're dedicated to providing our customers with access to the highest quality badge-related content most relevant for workplace learning. As such, we are always updating the collection to make sure our courses and content are up-to-date and relevant. Therefore, there may be times when a badge is no longer available on the certification landing page. In this case, if the content is still available on Udemy, you can view this under My learning.
This could be due to:
- The applicable courses are retired from the collection and therefore, they are no longer available in the Personal Plan subscription. As a result, we can no longer support the related certification preparation experience.
- Badges may also be removed from the certification preparation experience, as part of quality checks for supporting content. In this case, courses will still be available for learners within My learning.
- Availability of new certification preparation experiences becoming available through new topics and courses curated into the Personal Plan subscription catalog.
