Two Options to Test Out of Courses:

If you feel you have the knowledge and want to move faster through your certification, we've got you covered! Skip a course by passing an exam that proves you already know the material and receive credit. You have two choices. Each course within Level 1 and Level 2 concludes with a short test to verify your understanding of the content. If you're confident in your existing knowledge, you can bypass the course and go directly to the test by following these steps: 1. **Log in** to the [Shure Academy Learning Porta](https://academy.shure.com) l. 2. At the top-right, hover over your name and click **My Groups**. On your Groups page, click **Join Group**. 3. Enter the **Group Key**, and the standalone tests will automatically appear on your learning portal's homepage. - For Level 1 Course Tests enter Group Key: **CCTests1** - For Level 2 Course Tests enter Group Key: **CCTests2** Please note, **you have one attempt to pass each course test.** If you don’t succeed on your first try, you'll need to complete the entire course to strengthen your understanding before retaking the test. Once you pass a test, send an email to [academy@shure.com](mailto:academy@shure.com) who will update your training record.

The Level 1 and Level 2 Certification Programs culminate in a comprehensive final exam designed to assess your knowledge of all the course material covered in the certification. If you feel confident and wish to take the final exam, please request access by sending an email to [academy@shure.com.](mailto:academy@shure.com) Please include your full name and contact information in your request. Also note, if you choose this option and do not pass the exam, attempting to test out of individual courses will no longer be an option.
