Does Kahoot! provide training or certification courses?

At kahoot.com/certified, you can find free self-paced training courses on how to use Kahoot!. They consist of watching a series of videos, reading through a downloadable pdf guide, and then completing an assigned kahoot through our iOS or Android mobile app. If you are signed in to the mobile app with your K! account, you’ll be emailed a certificate and a digital badge upon passing with at least 80% correct.

Certificates

These are printable documents with your name on them that certify completion of one of our courses. Their intended use is to assert to your administration that you qualify for having earned credit towards professional development.

Digital badges

These are linkable images that you can share on social media, add to your email signature, and display in a digital backpack or badge board that represents completion of our courses.

Course eligibility

Who can take Kahoot! Certified courses?

Kahoot! Certified was designed for teachers seeking professional development (PD) credits to maintain their teaching certification. However, these courses are freely available to anyone. One note about this is that we do not market to students. While students can take our courses, they cannot receive certificates. Silver and Gold essential courses won’t be accessible without the ability to receive certificates.

How do I take a Kahoot! Certified course?

Simply go to kahoot.com/certified and choose a course to take. While you can work through all courses, it’s worth knowing that there are two different course types:

Essential courses These require you to complete one course to progress to the next course. A link to the next course will be included with your emailed certificate, which will be the only way to access the next course.

Advanced courses These can be taken in any order. They cover pedagogical topics and assume you already know the information in the essential courses.

Course completion

How do I receive a certificate?

Each course consists of watching a series of videos, reading through a downloadable pdf guide, and then completing an assigned kahoot through our iOS or Android mobile app. To complete the kahoot and receive a certificate and a digital badge, you must:

2. Login in to your Kahoot! account.
3. Click “Enter PIN” and submit the PIN.
4. Complete the kahoot with at least 80% correct.
