How it works
Rigorously assessed. Mildly ridiculous. Fully verifiable.
Every program follows the same four-step process, from the first lesson to a credential on your profile.
Step 1: Learn
Short, properly structured lessons written by people who have thought far too hard about this. Most programs take under 30 minutes.
Step 2: Pass the exam
Practice with knowledge checks, then sit the final exam. Score 80% to pass. Retakes are unlimited, because we're rigorous, not cruel.
Step 3: Receive your credential
A formal certificate with your name, issue date, and a unique credential ID. Download it, print it, frame it near the dishwasher.
Step 4: Add it to LinkedIn
One click prefills Licenses & Certifications with the credential ID and a public verification link. Recruiters can check it's real.

Finally, recognition for what you're good at
I have loaded the dishwasher correctly for eleven years. Now there is a credential ID to prove it.
A recruiter asked about the fitted sheet certification. We talked for forty minutes. I start Monday.
We certified the whole office in kitchen etiquette. The fridge has never been cleaner, and morale is up.

Questions
Frequently asked, officially answered
Are these real certifications?
Real in the ways that count: you complete a structured course, pass a scored exam, and receive a certificate with a unique ID that anyone can verify on certmylife.com. They are issued by CertMyLife for everyday skills, not by a government or licensing body.
How do I add a certificate to LinkedIn?
Every certificate has an Add to LinkedIn button that opens LinkedIn's Licenses & Certifications form. Next to it, a helper lets you copy each field (certificate name, issuing organisation, issue date, credential ID, and verification URL) with one click.
How does verification work?
Each certificate has an ID in the format CML-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX and a public page at certmylife.com/verify/ followed by that ID. The page shows the recipient, the credential, the issue date, and its current status. Anyone can check it without an account. If a certificate is ever revoked, the page says so.
What does it cost?
Some programs are free with an account, so you can earn your first certificate without paying anything. Plus unlocks every CertMyLife program for $5.00 a month or $48.00 a year. Build your own program for $10.00, or have us build one for you for $199.00. Both are one-time prices.
What happens if I fail the exam?
Review the lessons and try again. Retakes are unlimited and there is no waiting period. Most programs require 80% to pass.
If I cancel my subscription, do I keep my certificates?
Yes. Certificates you have earned stay valid and verifiable after you cancel. You only lose access to start or continue subscription programs.
Do certificates expire?
Most do not. A few programs may ask you to recertify after a set period. If so, the program page says so before you start.
Can I create a certification for my team, family, or event?
Yes, two ways. Build it yourself for $10.00: write the lessons and exam, then share it with your people through a private invite link. Or tell us what you want certified and we will build it for you for $199.00, private or listed publicly. CertMyLife may adopt self-serve programs into its catalog without credit (see the Terms).
Make it official.
Your first certification is free. It takes about twenty minutes, and the credential ID is forever.
