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.
