A new associate-level of Facebook Blueprint certification will be launch in October 2019. Facebook Certified Digital Marketing Associate which is a new certification aims to cover the foundation of advertising concepts on Facebook, Instagram, Messenger and WhatsApp for Business. The online courses are free for anyone to take meanwhile the official exam will cost around USD 49.
As a digital marketing trainer, such valuable certification from the official Facebook social media will be a great help in my career. Earning such official credentials will help to distinguish myself as a Facebook digital marketing professional and it is the highest level of accreditation recognizes in marketing.
Well, I guess I am the first person in Malaysia who took the pilot exam and pass in August 2019.
Facebook marketing partners will be participating and provide their feedback after the examination. From my understanding, there are at least 200 candidates who took the examination. The survey email informs the earliest respondents will receive a gift from Facebook.
Job seekers are recommended to take the certification to stand out from the crowd as Facebook Blueprint certification recognizes within the marketing and advertising industry. Student can even take the exam to gain advantages before their graduation for their future career in the advertising and marketing field.
However, the certification is valid for ONE year only. Once it is expired, the candidate has to re-take the examination to be qualified again.
The candidate who passes the exam will receive an official certified badge from Acclaim on October onward when it is official launch. The candidate may attach the certified badge link in their resume through the LinkedIn platform. They can also share it through Facebook and Twitter.
For a quick start, you may try a practice test consists of 30 questions to understand which area you are lack of knowledge for the examination. Subsequently, you can prioritize to study those areas to study first.
The real examination is between 50 to 60 questions. It took me about 2 weeks to complete the entire course. Most of the question is based on your common sense/knowledge and experience in Facebook marketing. If you pass any professional certification of Facebook Certified Media Planning/Buying, this exam should be easy peasy for you.
The practical test is free to take anytime and anywhere. Once you are confident, you may schedule the real examination through an online proctored exam.
