Gainsight Certification

The Gainsight Certification is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests practical Gainsight CS skills for customer success teams and admins — customer success fundamentals and metrics, the Customer 360, Timeline and health scorecards, Cockpit, playbooks and Journey Orchestrator, and data, rules and administration — written to Gainsight CS documentation and Gainsight's customer success guidance for 2026. It is an independent skills test, not a Gainsight exam. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable Gainsight Proficiency certificate (SOA-GZ). Every question is based on published standards and research — including Gainsight CS documentation (Customer 360, Cockpit, Scorecards, Rules Engine, Journey Orchestrator) (Gainsight Support), What is customer success (Gainsight) — and each answer is explained with its source.
