How to Become ADP Certified

 

1. Fulfill eligibility criteria

The ADP Professional Certification Program is a voluntary program that is available to anyone seeking certification in an ADP solution. However, it is required that candidates must have:

  • Six months of experience using the product in which they intend to become certified.

Before the exam you will be required to attest that you have met the minimum experience required.
