Several Moodle Certified Partners have now received authorisation to offer the MAQ program, expanding access to this valuable qualification for administrators worldwide.

If you need additional preparation, the quiz results will recommend you to take some more training, either self-paced courses through Moodle Academy or facilitated training from our Moodle Certified Partners and Service Providers.
