Web Certified Editor

Starting credential for creating and publishing content on live WordPress sites: posts, pages, comments, media library, the editor, and basic HTML/CSS. Typical exam: about 35 tasks in 45 minutes.

Exams run on the Knowledge Pillars ARK platform, not Certiport Compass. Classroom sessions use a teacher group code with a school proctor; remote sessions require a quiet room, approved computer (no phone or tablet), webcam, and ID check. Results are typically sent to teachers within 72 hours. About 150 hours of instruction and hands-on practice is recommended. Lengths, objective domains, accommodations, retakes, and proctoring are defined by Knowledge Pillars and Certiport.
