Sage Badging & Certifications

Explore the different types of Sage badging and certifications, understand what each achievement means and the terms and conditions for taking an exam, and learn how to keep your certification current.

Understand Sage learning achievements

Sage learning experiences offer different types of achievements and outcomes. Depending on the course, you may earn a Certificate of Completion, Assessment Certificate, Sage Certification, Digital Badge, or simply build valuable knowledge and skills.

Certificate of Completion

“I completed the learning.”

A Certificate of Completion recognises that you completed the learning requirements for an eligible Sage course.

Assessment Certificate

“I passed an assessment.”

An Assessment Certificate recognises that you successfully completed a required assessment. It is a one-off achievement and is different from a Sage Certification.

Sage Certification

“I demonstrated the required competency.”

A Sage Certification recognises that you have demonstrated the required level of knowledge and competency for that certification. Sage Certifications may have ongoing requirements to maintain certification status.

Digital Badge

“I can digitally showcase my achievement.”

A digital badge is a shareable digital representation of an eligible achievement or credential.

How to get your certificate or credential

The way you receive your certificate or credential depends on the type of learning you complete. Select the type of achievement to see what you need to do and where to find it.

Exam Terms:

Taking a certification exam

Declaration: You declare that you are the individual who registered/signed up for the exam you are about to begin. You understand that you are the only one allowed to answer questions on this exam and you may not request assistance in any form (e.g., electronically or in person) from anyone else - with reading, answering or researching questions or answers. You may use only the materials expressly permitted for your exam as identified in the official study guide for this exam. This may include access to Sage products and additional resources when specifically indicated in the study guide; all other materials are prohibited.

Warning: Any candidate found to have committed or attempted to commit fraud, including but not limited to failure to comply with these terms and conditions, will be subject to immediate revocation of any certification obtained as a result of such actions. In addition, the candidate will be prohibited from re-taking the examination for a period of five (5) years.

Exam confidentiality

Non-Disclosure Agreement: Each Sage exam has been developed by Sage and is made available to you for the sole purpose of obtaining Sage certification.

This exam is confidential and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights. You are prohibited from disclosing, publishing, selling, or reproducing this exam, in whole or part, to any third party in any form or by any means including, but not limited to, verbal, written or electronic means, for any purpose, without the prior permission of Sage.

Use of artificial intelligence

AI technology: Candidates are strictly prohibited from entering, uploading, or otherwise sharing any exam content, including questions or materials, into any public or private artificial intelligence (AI) tools or platforms. Such actions constitute the unauthorised disclosure of confidential and proprietary information and will be treated as a breach of these terms and of the Non-Disclosure Agreement above and may result in immediate revocation of any certification obtained and prohibition from re-taking the examination for a period of five (5) years.

Use of AI in exam development: Some Sage exam content may be created or supported using artificial intelligence tools. All such content is subject to human review and oversight by Sage, and Sage remains responsible for the content and for all certification decisions and outcomes.

AI in assessment: Where artificial intelligence is used to assist in assessing, scoring, or monitoring your exam, such use is subject to human oversight. You will be informed where this applies and may request human review of any decision that significantly affects you.

Exam integrity

Sage certification exams must be completed independently and in accordance with the exam terms and conditions. Candidates must not receive unauthorised assistance, use materials that are not permitted, share confidential exam content or enter exam content into AI tools. Breaching these requirements may result in certification being revoked and restrictions on retaking the exam.


Certification Terms:

Certification terms

Achievement of a Sage certification confirms that an individual has demonstrated the required level of knowledge and competency. It does not constitute, imply, or establish any form of contractual relationship, employment, partnership, agency, or authorisation to act on behalf of Sage.

Certification does not grant any right to represent Sage, market, resell, deliver, or monetise Sage products, training, or services as an authorised Sage provider. Any such activities may only be undertaken by organisations that have entered into a formal partner agreement with Sage and have received appropriate authorisation. The Sage Partner Programme(s) apply to organisations and are governed by separate written agreements that define the terms of authorisation and engagement.

Certifications may be subject to ongoing requirements, including the successful completion of periodic assessments or updates, as determined by Sage from time to time, to maintain certification status. Certifications are typically valid for a defined period and may expire unless such requirements are met.

Certification certificates and digital badges may be issued through a third-party platform. Candidates are responsible for ensuring that the email address associated with such platforms aligns with their Sage University account to maintain accurate and current records. Personal data you provide is processed in accordance with the Sage Privacy Notice.

Candidates are responsible for maintaining accurate and up-to-date contact details, including a valid email address. Sage shall not be responsible for any failure to notify candidates of certification requirements, renewal obligations, or applicable timelines where such details are inaccurate or incomplete.
