VALUATIO

Founding cohort

Twenty-five people get the assessment free.

In return they finish it, review it honestly, and let us put their name to it. That is the trade: we need holders more than we need the fee.

25 places

What you get

The whole assessment, which is a one-time $79 purchase for everybody else: both timed drills, and the credential itself if you pass. The 17 courses are free to everyone already. Not a trial, not a discount, and not a different or easier version of the assessment.

The standard is published in full, before you decide. Read the Candidate Handbook: the curriculum, the pass marks, the attempt limits, and an explicit statement of what the credential is not.

What it costs you

  1. Pass the assessment

    Both timed drills at 70%, the same standard as a paid candidate, graded by the same engine. The 17 courses are there to prepare you, as they are for everyone. Nothing is waived, because a credential that was waived is not evidence of anything.

  2. Write an honest review

    A few paragraphs on what the material was actually like, published under your name. Critical is fine and more useful than praise, and your place never depends on what you say. Because the place is free, the review has to say so in plain words, such as "I received a free place in the VALUATIO founding cohort." We will not ask you to change it, and we will not publish a curated extract of it.

  3. Let us name you

    Your name and credential ID on this page, linking to the public verification record. That is the entire point of the exchange: a credential with no verifiable holders is a claim nobody can check.

Why this is free, said plainly

VALUATIO is new and independent, and it is not accredited by anybody. A credential from an issuer with no verifiable holders is worth very little, however good the material is, because there is nothing for a sceptical reader to check. Twenty-five people who finished it and will say so in public is worth more to this product than twenty-five times $79, and it is the only thing that money cannot simply buy.

You are being asked to take a risk on something unproven. That is a real cost and it is why the places are free rather than discounted. If the credential never comes to mean anything, you will have spent your time on a course and gained a credential nobody recognises. We think the material is worth it on its own, which is why all of it is readable before you apply.

A short paragraph. What you are studying or doing, and what you want this for. It is read by a person, not scored.

Nobody has finished yet. This list is built from live credentials rather than written by hand, so it stays empty until somebody earns one, and every name on it will link to a record you can check.
