Raiser's Edge and Raiser's Edge NXT Certification

Christina Pollarolo

One of my line reports is looking to do his fundamental certification and has asked me if you get more than one chance to pass the test once registered. It's been so long since I took the Raiser's Edge Fundamentals certification that I can't remember. I know you can have the database open when you take the exams and the minimum score to pass (80%) but can't see if you have a chance to retry within the 90 day period once registered.
Any help that can be provided would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

@Christina Pollarolo I'm pretty sure you get an opportunity to take it at least twice.

@Christina Pollarolo Welcome to the community!

Yes, here's text describing the fundamental cert:

Get Blackbaud Certified® at the Fundamentals level.

The Fundamentals Exam is the first level of Blackbaud Certification in Raiser’s Edge NXT. You will have 1.5 hours (90 minutes) to complete 20 questions. You may use workbooks and notes from previous classes, and you may also have your Blackbaud software open while taking the exam. To pass, you must get 80% of the questions correct.

Once registration is complete, the exam will be available for 90 days or until December 31 of the current calendar year, whichever comes first. During this time, you have subsequent opportunities to retake and pass the exam and earn certification.

@JoAnn Strommen, Amazing thanks so much. I don't know how I've just missed it as I've looked at the page several times and looked at the FAQ and not seen this before
