Frequently asked

How much does it cost?

$350 per seat. A single one-time fee covers the full credential, training, exam, and your downloadable certificate.

Can my employer buy seats for a team?

Yes. You can buy multiple seats in a single order and invite team members to claim them. Refunds are available within 48 hours of purchase for seats that have not been accessed.

Can I retake the exam if I don't pass?

You can retake after a 24-hour cooldown. You're allowed up to three attempts per email in any rolling six-month period.

How long is the certificate valid?

QTR-1 is valid for two years from the issue date. The threat landscape evolves quickly, so we require recertification every two years. We'll email you when your certificate is approaching expiry.

Is this eligible for Ohio TechCred or similar workforce programs?

Not yet. QTR-1 is built as a short-term, technology-focused credential and maps to NIST NICE Framework competency areas, which is the shape these programs look for, but we have not completed an approval determination. Employers should confirm current eligibility with the program before applying. See our employer page for the mapping kit that supports an application.

How is my information used?

We use your details to issue and verify your certificate, and (if you opt in) to send occasional security tips and product updates. See our privacy policy.

Will my certificate be verifiable by an employer?

Yes. Each certificate has a unique ID and a public verification URL on scanlikely.com.
