All four programs include the information you’ll need to know and understand to pass the certification exam. These certifications are not designed to make you an expert on all facets of the subject.

Each training course is self-paced. Time to complete and fully comprehend will vary with every individual. It may take several days or weeks of study before you feel comfortable to take the final test. You may take the final exam as soon as you’re ready. You have 1 year from the date of purchase to complete the courses.
All MSI certification exams are timed, with a limit of 1-3 hours. You may take the test online, from home or work whenever you are ready.
