VARs who feel they have sufficient experience can opt to skip straight to the mini-exam by paying $195. The fee includes the ability to take the test over again (within a 12-month period), and upon passing includes the TBA certification for the first year. If a VAR does not pass, they can choose to pay another $300 to upgrade to the full course curriculum.




For a one-time cost of $495 per annum, VARs have access to more than 55 educational modules for up to 12 months an can review the material online or offline. Additional VARs from the same company can sign up for $195 per year. There's also an annual fee of $95 for logo usage, certification and wallet card.
