Ready to prove your Blackbaud Award Management product knowledge? Start the process to become Blackbaud Fundamentals certified in Blackbaud Award Management. The recommended steps to achieve product-specific certification is to complete the series of courses in the Fundamentals Learning Path, and then take the Blackbaud Award Management 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. Fundamentals certification is a great milestone for every Blackbaud Award Management user. To proceed to the exam, visit the Blackbaud Award Management Course Catalog page, and click GET CERTIFIED at the bottom of the page.



Fundamentals Exam recommended courses are listed under the Fundamentals Learning Path on BlackbaudU Campus.
  • Fundamentals: System Overview
  • Fundamentals: Awarding
Bonus: The Blackbaud Award Management Fundamentals certification exam is free to all users. All recommended courses are included in Blackbaud University's Blackbaud Award Management Learn More and Learn Everything training subscriptions!



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 an email from Blackbaud with a link to download the certification seal to share on social media pages, and a small digital icon to use on your business cards, resume, and email signature. You can even promote your certification status on your LinkedIn and Blackbaud Community profiles!



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.



No Course Requirement

We want you to pass your certification examination and become Blackbaud Certified®; 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.
