Kahoot! Certification: How to become Kahoot! Certified

Updated

Welcome to the Kahoot! Certification program! Whether you are a teacher seeking professional development (PD) credits or a professional wanting to boost engagement, our free, self-paced training courses will help you become a certified Kahoot! expert.

This program is for completing official Kahoot! training courses. If you are looking for attendance certificates from recent events like the Kahoot! EDU Summit, please contact EDUSummit@kahoot.com. We do not provide custom certificates for general platform usage.

What is Kahoot! Certification?

The Kahoot! Certification program offers courses designed to elevate your skills in enhancing engagement and assessing learning. Upon completing a course with a passing score of at least 80%, you will receive:

  • Certificates: Printable documents asserting course completion, often used by educators to claim professional development credits.
  • Digital badges: Linkable images you can share on social media, add to your email signature, or display on a badge board.
💡 The program is designed primarily for teachers seeking professional development, but anyone can access the courses for free.
🔗 Looking for more? Beyond our core Bronze, Silver, and Gold courses, we also offer specialized and advanced certifications, such as Data-Driven Instruction and Kahootopia, to keep your skills sharp. Learn more at https://kahoot.com/certified.

How do I take a Kahoot! Certified course?

You can start your journey at Kahoot! Certified by taking the Bronze course.

Steps to get certified:

  1. Log in to your Kahoot! account.
  2. Go to the certification page and select Get certified now.
  3. Select Start course.
  4. Complete the Kahoot! course by scoring at least 80%.
💡 To ensure your progress is saved, we recommend downloading the Kahoot! mobile app for iOS or Android and signing in before starting the course challenge. Progress tracking may not work correctly if you play assignments via a web browser.

After completing your first course, you will receive an email containing your certificate, digital badge, and a link to access the next course level (e.g., Silver or Gold).

How do I download my Kahoot! certificate?

Once you pass a course, you have a few ways to access your rewards:

  • Direct Download: Download the certificate directly from the final page of the course.
  • Email Inbox: Check your email for the certificate and digital badge.
  • Learner Portal: Go to Your learning dashboard. Open the relevant course, click the three vertical dots in the Course certificate section, and select Download.

Once downloaded, your certificate is an editable PDF. You can open the file and manually type your name before saving or printing it.

Troubleshooting: Missing Certification Emails

If you completed a course but did not receive your email, check the following:

☝️ Certification emails are classified as marketing messages. You must toggle on the setting to allow Kahoot! to send you marketing emails to receive them. You can disable this setting again after you receive your certificate.
  • Correct Email: Ensure you are checking the email address associated with the Kahoot! account you used to take the course.
  • Spam Folder: Check your spam or junk folders for emails from kahoot@team.kahoot.com and noreply@getkahoot.com.
  • Manual Download: If the email is truly lost, simply log in to your learner dashboard to view your results and download your certificate manually.

FAQ

  1. What is the passing score for Kahoot! Certification?
    To pass a certification course and receive your certificate and badge, you must score at least 80% correct on the assignment.
     
  2. Can students receive a Kahoot! Certification certificate?
    While students are welcome to take the courses to learn, the program does not market to students, and they cannot receive official certificates. Silver and Gold essential courses are not accessible without the ability to receive certificates.
     
  3. Why haven't I received my certification email or badge?
    If you scored at least 80% but didn't get the email, it is usually because your account settings do not allow Kahoot! to send you marketing messages. You can also manually download your certificate from the learner portal at https://create.kahoot.it/learner.

  • Hello! I have retaken all certification courses numerous times and not once did I receive my diploma or digital badge. I have even tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but nothing would help. I made sure I’m logged in, scored 80% on each of the courses and still nothing. Also, I agreed to receiving emails from Kahoot! in my settings. The only thing I could do was share my badges on Twitter. Can you still email me my diplomas if, as proof, I only have tweets? Kind regards!

  • I completed Step 1 of the Bronze Certification yesterday and waited until today to complete Step 2.  I've answered the questions correctly, but the final step is yet to be unlocked.  Is there another 24 hour waiting period?

  • Hello Keshia, 

    When taking the certification assignments, it's important that you do that with the app and that you are signed into your account with the mobile app. If you pass, get 80% correct, we will email you the certificate and next steps to the email registered on your account. 

    Please check which email is registered on your account, then the inbox or the spam filter, some have experienced that these emails might have ended up there.

  • I have not received the email containing the diploma, badge, and a link for the next course.  I was logged into the app, and I have checked my spam folder.  Is there a wait time between courses?

  • Hello! Sorry to hear about this issue.

    Your Silver certificate should have been sent to the email address associated with your Kahoot! account. Could you please check whether you're checking the same mailbox tied to your Kahoot! account? 

    If you're still unable to locate it, please go to https://create.kahoot.it/learner and sign in with the same account that was used to take the course. You can see your results and download the certificate there.

    1. Open the relevant course.
    2. Click three vertical dots in the Course certificate section.
    3. Download the certificate.

    If you have several accounts associated with different email addresses, log in to https://create.kahoot.it/learner using each one and check all relevant inboxes.
