How to get started on My Pathway

You begin by earning your first certification. The product on this page provides you with a single voucher that can be redeemed at a CATC to take your exam. Should you pass that exam, your journey has already begun. The next step would be to purchase another voucher and pass another required exam. For example, earning both of the required certifications listed on the My Pathway page at Certiport.com would grant you the credential of Independent Contractor.

After purchasing this product, you will also need to create a Test Candidate profile at Certiport.com in order to register and take your exam. When you are logged in at Certiport, an entire section is devoted to My Pathway where your progress with all pathways are tracked so you always know where to go next.
