- Build a solid foundation for creating clear, functional content.

What is Genially Certified Essentials
Proven skills, not a completed course
Genially Certified Essentials is Genially's official entry-level certification.
It accredits that you can apply the fundamentals of the tool to create interactive content that is clear, functional and adapted to a specific objective.
Completing the preparatory course certifies nothing on its own. The credential comes from passing the official assessment.
Certification architecture
The first level of Genially's official certification
Essentials validates an initial, applied foundation. It does not accredit advanced professional mastery, nor does it allow you to deliver training on behalf of Genially.
Three routes
Choose how you want to prepare
There is no single path. Choose the route that fits your knowledge, your time and your context.
1. Take the assessment directly
Already using Genially and confident with the Essentials skills? Go straight to the official assessment for your context. No course required first.
Take the assessment
2. Prepare with the free course
Review the fundamentals, practise and check whether you are ready. Around 10 hours, at your own pace. Recommended, never required.

3. Prepare as a team
If your organization's plan includes it, guided training can walk your group through the preparation together.

What Essentials validates
Six areas, one standard
Essentials checks that you can apply a clear, functional and useful foundation across six areas. The same standard applies to every context.
Judgement in use
Identify when Genially adds value and when a simpler format is the better choice.
Structure and navigation
Organize information to create an experience that is easy to understand and move through.
Interactivity with intent
Use interactive resources to guide, activate or reinforce the message, not just to decorate.
Visual clarity
Create content that is clean, legible and coherent with the stated objective.
Quality and accessibility
Apply solid criteria for contrast, legibility, order and review before publishing.
Contextual application
Solve a simple practical task within a real context.
Four contexts, four credentials

Each option leads to a distinct credential, badge and certificate. Choosing a context does not limit you — it lets you apply what you know where it counts.
