FAQs

How does the credit system work for assessments?
Credits are consumed based on assessment complexity. Starter assessments use 1-2 credits ($5-$10), standard assessments use 2-5 credits ($10-$25), and advanced assessments use 5-10 credits ($25-$50). You decide the complexity based on the role requirements. -
What determines the complexity of an assessment?
Assessment complexity is determined by scenario depth, environment setup requirements, number of files involved, tools enabled, and expected duration. The SkillCertify team helps organizations choose the appropriate complexity level for each specific role. -
What are custom assessments and how quickly can they be created?
Custom assessments are tailored evaluations built specifically for an organization's technology stack. SkillCertify creates these realistic scenarios within 24 hours based on provided specifications (e.g., Node.js + PostgreSQL + Docker), and they can be reused with unlimited candidates. -
What happens if I run out of credits?
Additional credits can be purchased at any time for $5 per credit. Organizations can also upgrade to larger bundles for better rates ($4.50 per credit or $4 per credit depending on the package). -
What is the difference between Self-Hosted and Cloud-Hosted deployment options?
Self-Hosted deployment allows organizations to install SkillCertify in their own infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or on-premises) with full data control. Cloud-Hosted deployment is fully managed by SkillCertify with no setup required and instant access.
