CargoSurge Certified
Questions
Including the awkward one about whether it is recognised.
- Is it really free?
- Yes. There is no fee to enrol, to sit a module, to retake one, or to download your certificate. There is no paid tier and nothing is held back behind one.
- Is CargoSurge Certification accredited or recognised?
- It is a vendor credential, not an accredited academic or government qualification, and we will not pretend otherwise. What it proves is that you passed a timed, closed-book examination on logistics practice — and unlike most lines on a CV, anybody can verify it in ten seconds from a public page with a permanent ID.
- Do I need to use CargoSurge software?
- No. You need no licence, no trial and no access of any kind. The questions are about how freight, customs, warehousing and logistics finance actually work, not about where a button is.
- How long does a module take?
- The exam itself is 30 minutes. How long you study first is up to you — everything the questions are written from is in the free documentation.
- What is the pass mark?
- 70% — 9 correct out of 12. Questions are drawn at random from a bank of 45 per module and the options are shuffled for every sitting, so no two papers are the same.
- What happens if I fail?
- You can sit that module again after 24 hours. There is no limit on attempts, failing costs nothing, and a failed attempt never appears on your public credential page.
- Do I have to take all the modules?
- No. Pass one and you are certified at Associate. There are 8 modules, you may take them in any order, and you can stop whenever you like.
- How long does the credential last?
- Each module stays current for 24 months from the day you pass it. Your public page shows only what is active, so it never overstates what you hold. Re-sit a module to renew it.
- Can I put it on LinkedIn?
- Yes. Your dashboard has a one-click "Add to LinkedIn profile" link that fills in the name, the issuing organisation, the date and your credential ID, plus a share button and the wording to copy if you want to post about it.
- Who can see my name?
- Your credential page is public — that is what makes it verifiable, and you agree to it when you enrol. It shows your name, your level, which modules you passed and when they expire. It never shows your email address, your employer, your location or your scores.
- Is my exam result public?
- No. Only that you passed a module and when. Your score, your attempts and anything you failed stay private.
- I did not get the confirmation email.
- Sign in and we will send another; links last 24 hours. Until your address is confirmed the exams stay closed, which is what stops somebody enrolling under a name that is not theirs.
