Altru Fundamentals Certification For 2019
Mary Aquino
Blackbaud Employee
Great New Year’s news—Blackbaud University 2019 Certification is available now!
Blackbaud University offers certified learning opportunities that recognize student achievement and help validate product knowledge. We provide these development opportunities to reflect our students’ commitment to excellence.
Fundamentals Certification
Ready to prove your Altru product knowledge? Start the process to become Blackbaud Fundamentals certified in Altru. The recommended path to achieve product-specific certification is to first attend the Fundamentals series of courses, and then take the Altru Fundamentals Exam.
If you have previously taken the Fundamentals courses, or feel you have the necessary product skills and knowledge, you may proceed to the exam. Students who pass with an 80% score or better are Fundamentals certified. Passing this exam enables access to all courses for which the Fundamentals series is a prerequisite. Fundamentals certification is a great milestone for every Altru user.
Fundamentals Exam Recommended Courses
Altru: Fundamentals—Entering and Maintaining Constituent and Revenue Records
Altru: Fundamentals—Managing Membership and Sales Functions
Bonus: All recommended courses and the Altru Fundamentals certification exam are included in Blackbaud University’s Learn More® training subscriptions!
Certification Credentials
When you achieve accreditation, you join a savvy community of professionals who are Blackbaud experts, and you attain credentials recognized as the industry standard. Blackbaud Certification validates your credentials, enhances your resume, and helps advance your career.
Bonus: When you pass your certification exam, you’ll receive a certificate and will be able to start promoting your Certified designation:
No Expiration
Every certification identifies the year it was achieved. There is no expiration on a certification, but the year gives context to when the title was achieved. We encourage students to periodically renew certification in order to reflect updates in the product platforms. You can use your certification as exemption from Altru instructor-led prerequisite courses for a full three years after certification date.
No Course Requirement
We want you to pass your certification examination; we therefore recommend specific courses be taken before attempting certification. However, if you feel you possess skills and knowledge strong enough to pass an exam, we encourage you to take the exam without taking the recommended courses. To learn what topics are covered in a recommended course (and in the associated certification exam), please review the course Abstract.
