What is Carta Certification and how do I get certified?
Carta Certified is a free credentialing program for partners who want to build expertise in the Carta platform and validate their knowledge. It is strictly platform training — it does not cover general equity or cap table concepts.
Once you complete a certification, your status will appear in the Carta Community and may unlock additional partner benefits.
Carta Certified is available to two partner audiences:
Law firm users — paralegals, associates, and anyone at a law firm working with cap tables on behalf of clients
Finance professionals — CFOs, accountants, and equity admins at finance firms
1. Law Firm Certification
For law firm users and partners working with cap tables.
There are three levels, completed in order:
Proficient — foundational platform workflows
Premier — intermediate knowledge and workflows
Expert — advanced platform capabilities
2. Carta Finance Certification
For finance professionals.
There are two levels:
Proficient
Advanced
