Certification is achieved when each exam is passed with a score of 70% or higher, with unlimited retakes, and after a certification survey is completed - this is where up to 15 continuing-education credits may be claimed.

Upon successful completion of the course exams and survey, a certificate will be generated. You will have the option to download the ENLS Certificate and CE Attestation for your records, and it will also continue to be available within your profile. You will be eligible to enroll in the ENLS Recertification Course and recertify at 22 months.
