The Ahrefs certification is geared primarily towards marketers and SEOs who want to use Ahrefs to:

The final exam will test your overall Ahrefs knowledge — but it’s not tied to any specific course.

If you're not fully familiar with Ahrefs' core tools though, the How to use Ahrefs course is a great way to sharpen your skills before taking the exam.

Speaking of the exam, it consists of:

  • 67 questions grouped by the course’s modules
  • 1-hour time limit
  • 3 attempts to pass it (which will reset after 15 days)
  • 75% minimum threshold score to pass
