Online coursework doesn't usually consist of a set class schedule, but
a series of training modules completed on your schedule. You're likely
to get your best results if you approach those modules with the same
rigid discipline you would if you were attending a physical class.

your test day a lot less stressful.

certification can help you understand what to expect on
the test as well as give you some useful information about
taking the certification test.
The fee for taking the exam covers the cost of
the examination and one examination retake, if
needed.
