Once login is created, the learner can sign in to Hexnode Academy and enroll in the required courses. The courses are custom generated to encompass even the intricate details essential for managing endpoints via the Hexnode UEM console.

Each course is categorized into multiple sections; a session is then subdivided into multiple chapters. Learners will be presented with a Knowledge Check with 2 to 5 multiple-choice questions on completing each section. These questions are intended for the learners to self-assess their understanding of the content covered in the session. When the learners complete the knowledge check, they can move forward to the next session irrespective of its result.

The learner can check their proficiency in the covered subject by taking the certification exam at the end of the course. This will be the Certification Course exam. The platform-wise Professional or Expert level exam contains 30 questions, whereas the UEM suite certification exam contains 60 questions. Each question carries a weightage of 1 mark. The learner should select the answer that they feel is the most appropriate. There will be no penalty for wrong answers; however, they are not advised to choose the answer on random guessing.

Once they complete the exam, they can instantly view their score from the browser window. If the learner scores a minimum of 60% in the exam, they will be awarded the Hexnode certification badge.
