How the route works

Professional Certification Preparation programs help learners prepare for a recognized external certification through structured knowledge, review, practice questions, and readiness assessments. Arab Platform for Professional Studies (ARPS) does not administer the certification owner's official exam.

Structured self-paced study aligned to the current external certification scope, with knowledge review, practice questions, readiness checks, and internal mock assessments.

  • Focused preparation for a specific external certification.
  • Content aligned to the current official exam scope when available.
  • Practice questions and internal readiness assessments.
  • Clear separation between Arab Platform for Professional Studies (ARPS) preparation and the official external exam.

Assessment

The route includes an internal assessment for Arab Platform for Professional Studies (ARPS) completion eligibility and separate mock/readiness assessments that are not the external official exam.

Assessment attempts: 2 per assessment, 7 days apart

The pass mark is announced before the program is published.

Certificate

The Arab Platform for Professional Studies (ARPS) credential confirms completion of the preparation program only; the target professional certification requires passing the external issuer's examination under its rules.

Every certificate has a public verification code. Verify a certificate

Verification example: a real issued certificate

Disclaimer: Any Arab Platform for Professional Studies (ARPS) credential for this program certifies completion of preparation only; it is not the AZ-900 certification, professional licensure, or Microsoft endorsement.
