The Moodle Certification is a free intermediate-level, 20-minute skill test from Science of Apps. It tests practical Moodle skills for teachers and administrators — course building with activities and resources, assessment, quizzes and the gradebook, learner progress, groups and engagement, and roles, enrolment and site administration — written to Moodle documentation and Moodle Academy materials, with digital teaching practice linked to the EU DigCompEdu framework, for 2026. Score 70% or more on its 20 questions to earn a verifiable Moodle Proficiency certificate (SOA-YDH). Every question is based on published standards and research — including Moodle documentation (Moodle), DigComp 2.2: The Digital Competence Framework for Citizens (European Commission JRC) — and each answer is explained with its source.
