For All Certifications:

For a business to be recognized as a FORTIFIED Evaluator, FORTIFIED Professional, or a FORTIFIED Roof™ contractor, you must have at least one employee who has successfully completed the appropriate FORTIFIED Wise™ Training Course and received a passing grade on the examination, and provide additional required documentation. For more information on which course is right for you please see below.

Following completion of the training course, certification candidates will take an online assessment examination. You will have 3 hours in which to complete the examination and must answer at least 85% of the questions correctly to pass. Three attempts are permitted within 30 days of exam registration.
