Certification Process - How It Works
The ASTM certification programs are managed through Certemy, Questionmark, and Credly. These applications will help you manage your programs, schedule your examinations and claim your credentials. Use this step-by-step guide to view the process, from registration to certification.
Step 1
Account Log In or Creation
Navigate to your chosen program on the ASTM website and click Register. You will be directed to the Certemy to either create a new account or log in to your pre-existing account.
Step 2
Certification Assignment
Upon completing registration, you will be assigned to the certification phase ‘Initial Application’ or ‘Recertification’ as appropriate.
Step 3
Registrant Assignment
Complete the step 'Registrant Information' for the certification program within Certemy. Click through each step to complete registration and submit payment using Stripe.
Step 4
Payment
In the payment step of either certification phase in Certemy, payment is accepted using Stripe.
Step 6
Certification Exam
After successful completion of the exam, you will need to return to Certemy to complete the 'Certification Exam' step.
This step requires the submission of your username for the Questionmark exam platform and the date of your exam.
Step 7
Completion of Performance Logs
In order to have your Supervisor or Manager complete the required performance logs, you will need to scroll to the bottom of the performance evaluation log form for each test method to invite them to complete the form on their behalf.
Step 8
Supervisor Invitation and Acceptance Email
After you have invited your Supervisor/Manager to complete the performance logs on your behalf, they will receive an invitation email from Certemy. Clicking on it and accepting the invitation will then add you as a 'Professional' to their list for completion of the performance logs.
Step 9
Supervisor View
Ensure that your Supervisor or Manager logs into their Supervisor account in Certemy if they have more than one account.
Step 10
Board Review
After successfully completing all of the Performance Logs steps in Certemy, the final step is 'Board Review'. This is completed by ASTM staff. After completion of this step by ASTM staff, you will be issued an official letter of completion and a digital badge will be issued via Credly.
Step 11
Issuance of Badge Via Credly
Look for an email from Credly to accept and save your digital badge.
