# Requirements & Expiration

> Pass thresholds, expiration, and what happens after you complete a certification.

## Pass threshold

Each quiz-based certification has a **pass threshold** — the minimum percentage score you need to achieve. The threshold is displayed:

* On the certification detail page before you start
* On the results screen after you submit

Common pass thresholds range from **70% to 90%** depending on the project's quality requirements.

<Note>
  Review-only certifications (no quiz questions) don't have a pass threshold. You just need to confirm every section.
</Note>

## Attempts

There is **no limit** on the number of attempts you can make. Each attempt is recorded, and your certification card shows how many attempts you've taken.

If you fail an attempt:

* Review the detailed results to understand your mistakes
* Revisit the certification instructions and overall guidelines
* Retake when you feel confident

## Expiration

Some certifications have an **expiration date**. This means:

* You must complete the certification before the deadline
* The expiration date is shown on your certification card
* If a certification expires before you pass, you may need to contact support or wait for it to be reassigned

<Warning>
  If you see an expiration date on a certification, prioritize completing it before the deadline. Expired certifications may prevent you from accessing the associated job.
</Warning>

## What certifications unlock

Certifications are tied to specific jobs. When you pass a certification:

* The associated job becomes fully accessible
* You can navigate directly to the job from the results screen via the **Go to Job** button
* Your certification status is updated to **Completed** across your dashboard

## Which jobs require certifications

Not all jobs require certifications. When you apply to or are offered a job that has certification requirements, the certification is automatically added to your **Certifications** page.

You'll see a note on each certification card indicating which job it unlocks:

> *"Complete to work on job \[Job Title]"*

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Can I work on a job without completing the certification?">
    No. If a job requires a certification, you must pass it before you can access or submit work for that job.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do certifications apply to multiple jobs?">
    A certification is typically tied to a single job. However, if multiple jobs share the same certification, passing it once may unlock all of them.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What if my certification expired?">
    Contact [support@workbolt.ai](mailto:support@workbolt.ai) with the certification and job details. The team can reassign or extend it if needed.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I need to recertify for recurring jobs?">
    Generally, a passed certification remains valid for the duration of the project. Check the expiration date on your certification card to be sure.
