Remote Certification Listing

All key Retail Pro certifications can be taken remotely using a secured, browser-based proctoring system that ensures the integrity of the certification process. Powered by the Software Secure Remote Proctor Now system (www.remoteproctor.com), all you need is a web browser, web-camera and microphone. The systems will verify the student's identification and record the entire exam session. Retail Pro University will then review the exam session recording to ensure the integrity of the exam.

The cost of taking a remote certification exam is $100 USD per attempt. There are no limits on the number of attempts per exam. We will invoice your company directly on a monthly basis.

A classroom setting allows you to openly and freely exchange ideas and promotes a richer learning experience. Classroom training is the fastest and most efficient way to prepare for certification exams, which are also included at no additional cost.

Cost: the cost to attend an instructor-led certification class varies by class type and location:

  • 2-Week Retail Pro 9 Class (inclusive of certification exams) – $500.00 per employee. Obtain a $250 discount for each end-user/customer you enroll.
  • Authorized Training Center Classes – check with the ATC.
