Please Note: It is the responsibility of the certification candidate to take the required preparatory steps to sit for the expert level certification exam. Educational preparation through WellSky is not required prior to taking the exam and a pass/fail of the certification exam is not solely linked to WellSky education. We recommend experience and working knowledge along with educational preparation prior to attempting the exam. Although we will work with all candidates to provide the best possible learning experience, environment, and opportunity to advance his/her career through obtaining the distinguished certification, meeting the level of expertise required is solely the responsibility of the candidate.
