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:

  1. Proficient — foundational platform workflows

  2. Premier — intermediate knowledge and workflows

  3. Expert — advanced platform capabilities


2. Carta Finance Certification

For finance professionals.

There are two levels:

  1. Proficient

  2. Advanced
