Individuals seeking MOLO certification should note that taking the new MOLO course does NOT guarantee success on the exam. Passing a certification exam requires amassing knowledge, skills, and abilities over time from a variety of sources; no one course provides all of the knowledge, skills, and abilities needed to pass a certification exam. Knowledge is gained over time from years of experience in the field; online courses, webinars, and podcasts; in-person seminars and events; hands-on workshops; on-the-job training; local, regional, and national conferences; mentoring programs; trade publications; and more. Thus, the MOLO course should be considered just one resource that can be used to help prepare for MOLO certification. Those who wish to become MOLO certified should use the MOLO Body of Knowledge (found at swana.org/MOLO) to self-assess their readiness and fill any knowledge or skill gaps.
