Benefits of becoming a API United Recognized Training Provider:

• You are listed on the APIU United website and have the option to have a profile on the Brightest website, with the ability to upload your APIU courses with your own registration links.

• You receive marketing materials and the ability to use the APIU logo in association with your courses.

• You are among the first to receive updates.

• You are recommended to clients who request training directly from APIU in your area.

​

There are 3 main steps to becoming a APIU Recognized Training Provider:

1. Trainers are APIU Certified for the course you wish to get recognized for

2. You confirm that your training materials cover the APIU syllabus you wish to get recognized for

3. You sign an Agreement with APIU United and pay the recognition fee. ​

​​

Step 1: (Trainers) 

A qualification form shall be filled out by each trainer that the training provider wishes to have recognized. All trainers must be APIU certified before they can administer an API United course. Train-The-Trainer courses are available for trainers who feel they need a little more support in the area. 

​

Step 2: (Materials)

There are official APIU Materials that can be licensed directly from APIU via Brightest. However, APIU training providers are not required to use these official materials to offer APIU courses. If you confirm that you have materials, which encompass the full syllabus of the Certified API, REST & Microservices Tester (APIU-CARMT) course, you can use these as well. API United will run some quality checks and if the pass rates of a trainer’s students are less than average, the trainer may be required to attend a Train-The-Trainer session with a APIU Master Trainer. 

The official APIU Training Materials include:

• Training Slides in a printable and presentable format.

• A full additional 40-question mock exam - built exactly in the format of the official exam with completely different questions. The answers and explanations are included separately, so the trainer can discuss them with the students in an interactive way.

• All required practical hands-on exercises.

• Trainer Notes and Set-up guide

​

Step 3: (Agreement & Payment)
API United has a standards agreement which shall be signed by any party wishing to offer APIU courses. 

The cost of being a recognized APIU Training Provider is:

• 500€ per year

• 900€ for 2 years

• 1,200€ for 3 years
