Frequently asked questions

Your choice depends on your professional background and goals.
Most learners begin with a foundational entry-level certification, like HCM Core. These courses give you the deepest grounding in how the ecosystem thinks, how data flows, and how configuration decisions ripple across different modules. Once you establish this foundation, you can progress into advanced training and specialise in a specific technical or functional area.
Here are two primary examples of how you can map out an advanced, specialised pathway:

  • Pathway 1: The HCM Track (For HRIS & People Ops)
    Foundational: Workday Pro HCM Core Services Certification
    Advanced Specialisation: HCM Data Loading Services Certification
  • Pathway 2: The Financial Track (For Finance & Accounting)
    Foundational: Workday Pro Record to Report Services Certification
    Advanced Specialisation: Accounting Centre Services Certification

Not necessarily. Some pathways, like HCM Fundamentals, are ideal for beginners, while others require prerequisite certifications to complete.

The total cost depends on your chosen learning pathway. As a guide, an official Workday Training Credit is USD $800. A standard certification track typically ranges from 5 to 9 credits in total (approximately USD $4,000 to $7,200), which covers both the multi-day training course and the exam.

As an official Workday Partner, EvokeHR can often offer reduced pricing on a case-by-case basis. We will provide a full cost breakdown and discuss any available savings before you enroll

The time investment is determined by the specific course and learning format you choose:

  • Instructor-Led Training: These live, expert-guided courses typically run for 3 to 4 days. They are booked for specific dates and times, with options available across multiple global time zones to fit your schedule.
  • Self-Paced Learning: These digital courses are open for a fixed window of time depending on the curriculum length. For example, a 15-hour course is typically accessible to complete over a 10-day period.
  • The Certification Exam: The official exam takes a couple of hours to complete.

The final step to becoming certified is a Proctored Exam, which is monitored to maintain the highest level of professional integrity.

To ensure you are fully prepared, the Workday training curriculum includes several layers of practice:

  • Knowledge Checks: At the end of each training module, you will find Knowledge Checks. These are non-graded quizzes designed to reinforce the concepts you just learned.
  • Practice Assessments: Before you sit for the actual exam, you will have access to a Practice Exam within the Workday Learning portal. We highly recommend completing this assessment until you are consistently scoring well, as it mirrors the format and difficulty of the real questions.
  • The Final Exam: Once you feel confident, you will take the proctored exam. Please prepare thoroughly, as you have one shot at passing the exam per enrollment. This rigorous standard is what ensures the Workday Pro designation remains a premier credential in the industry. 

Absolutely. We can transfer all of your certification records, regardless of whether they are currently Active, Expired, or Inactive. Once you join the EvokeHR Community, we will handle the transition to move your entire history over to our system.

If your certification status is currently Expired (lapsed), we will also help you navigate the steps to return to Active status, such as enrolling you in the latest recertification exam.

Yes. When you train with us, you are officially part of the EvokeHR Community and sit under our corporate umbrella. This means you will be enrolled under our official LMS ID, receive a dedicated EvokeHR email address, and be fully vetted as a representative of our company within the Workday ecosystem.

Becoming a “Workday Pro” is a multi-step journey designed to ensure you are a true expert. The process follows these three steps:

  1. Training: You must first complete the required foundational courses (prerequisites) for your chosen track. These are usually 3–5 days of intensive, expert-led learning.
  2. Practice: After the training, you’ll have access to a practice tenant and a Practice Exam to hone your skills.
  3. The Proctored Exam: Once ready, you will sit for a formal, proctored exam. You have one shot to pass this exam per enrollment. Success earns you the official Workday Pro designation.

Yes. You can continue to use your company’s customer-side Workday account while completing your training. Your certification learning will take place separately within the official Workday Learning environment, and we provide access to our own training tenant for practice.

Yes. Individuals must pass a proctored online exam every 2 years to maintain an active certification. Course completion isn’t required for recertification. Individual exams are required for each certification that you wish to maintain. For Workday Pro Certifications, each recertification exam attempt costs 0.25 Training Credits. This ongoing commitment ensures you are always an expert in the latest features. We recommend checking the Workday Training and Services Catalog for specific details on your track’s requirements.

No, EvokeHR does not offer an exam-only option. We stand by a unified model where official Workday training and the exam are taken together. This policy allows us to maintain high security and vetting standards for all global learners, ensuring the validity and integrity of the certifications we facilitate.
