How do I get certified in Workday?

Workday certification is worth its weight in gold as it gives a holistic understanding of the entire application to a new professional. The criterion to attend the Workday Certification Program is that one must either be a part of Workday or should be associated with one of its partners. The certification program should be completed within a month but if you fail to get the certification in your first attempt then Workday allows you to re-do your training. This Enterprise application undergoes numerous minor updates and 2-3 major updates in a year. Whenever a major update takes place the user has to go through the training again and get the certification. This is done by Workday so that all the users remain on the same page. If you are not an employee of Workday or any of its partner companies, it is impossible to gain a Workday certification.


What if I am unhappy with the course?

We would never want you to be unhappy! If you are unsatisfied with your purchase, contact us in the first 7 days and we will give you a full refund.
