Add some ‘special sauce’ to your CV by becoming a Certified Surfer Expert
You’ve used Surfer, and you know it works. You’re not new to this, you’re true to this. You've surfed your way to the “green zone” on more than one occasion. You can navigate the Content Editor with your eyes closed. You use Surfer for yourself and for your clients.
There’s only one thing missing:
An official certificate to show potential customers or employers what you know to be true: you are a Surfer Expert.
Prove your advanced knowledge of Surfer to your potential clients or boss by acing the exam at the end of the course. You’ll receive a custom certificate and a Linkedin badge to show off your Surfer skills.

The Certification Process

How many points do I need to get to pass the exam?
24/28 which equals ~85%.
What are the rules for practical tasks?
The task is: Write a piece of content – on a topic of your choice, and in any language – within Surfer’s Content Editor. Requirements: a) min. 1500 words; b) unique; c) make sense; d) min. 67 Content Score.
Do I have to watch the SEO Writing Masterclass to take the skills test?
Nope! There are folks who have been using Surfer for years who would rather skip the course, and try the exam! Keep in mind however, that you’ll need to get at least 24 out of 28 to pass, and you can only take the exam once in 24 hours.
