How much time do I have to become Certified after registering for the certification program?
You will be granted access to the ACES LMS for 90 days from the date you are registered in the LMS. This means you must complete any necessary (and optional) courses, quizzes, and the final certification exam within that 90-day period. It is advised to make at least one attempt at the final Certified ACES Administrator Exam within the first 45 days, to provide you with enough time to complete additional attempts, if applicable, before the 90 days expires. Access to the LMS will automatically be cancelled at the 90-day mark unless you have requested and paid for a one-time 30-day extension for the program.
If my 90-day access to the certification program expires, can I extend my time or do I have to start over?
You can request to extend your time by 30 days, if needed, but an extension fee of $100.00 USD will apply. You are only allowed one 30-day extension. If you do not complete the certification after the 30-day extension, you will need to re-register for the program and pay the full fee. Please note: You cannot extend your allowed time if you have already used all three attempts at the final ACES Administrator Certification Exam.
Are all the training courses in the ACES LMS required before I can take the certification exam?
The only required course is the ACES Administrator: Advanced Setup & Configuration course. The other available courses are optional but highly recommended to best prepare for the final certification exam.
