Wait! Don't I Need to Take an Exam to be Certified as a A-CSPO®?
No. Currently the only requirement to become a A-CSPO® is the successful completion of the CSPO course. It may be surprising to know that there is no exam required.

No. If you miss more than 15 minutes of the workshop, you will not be eligible for certification, and you will be welcome to attend the rest of the workshop. Don’t worry – if something big comes up, we’ll move you to a future workshop at no cost.

What do I need to bring to class?
You’ll need a computer with microphone, camera & speakers. Use https://fast.com to test your internet connection. After the download numbers stop, use the “more” option to calculate your upload speed. You’ll need 5 down / 1 up – and more is better. Now, while in class, you’ll be actively using your computer to participate in exercises, so plan to peek at your email only during a break or at lunchtime.
