The certification exam
Only here for the exam? You still get everything.
Other bodies charge $438 to $945 for the test alone — no course, no retake, no materials. At Averon the exam is included, and the same price gets you the full course, unlimited free retakes and a verifiable credential. Sit it whenever you’re ready.
No exam-only upcharge
Same price. Exam included.
We don't sell a stripped-down, cheaper exam-only tier — because you shouldn't pay more for less. One price covers the exam and the course behind it, so you can prepare properly and sit it when you're ready.
