[Learn more about certification prep](https://help.codecademy.com/hc/en-us/articles/30914116566427-Certification-Prep-skill-paths-FAQ).

How can I take certification prep paths?

Get access to certification prep paths with a [Codecademy Pro or Plus membership](https://www.codecademy.com/pricing). **Please note:** These paths are for preparation and practice. You’ll schedule and take the actual industry exam directly with a third-party provider, not with Codecademy.

How do I receive my industry certification?

Each industry certification is granted by a third-party provider after passing their certification exam. First, take a certification prep path on Codecademy to learn the content and practice for the industry exam. Then, you'll see links to schedule the industry exam directly with a third-party provider. Once you have passed the industry exam, you will receive that industry certification.

Will I have to pay for an industry certification exam?

Yes. Since the industry exam is scheduled and conducted by a third-party provider, it isn’t already included in your Codecademy Pro or Plus membership. An industry exam will be an additional fee paid to the third-party provider.
