Sources and what we verified
Meta Credly badge page: earning criteria and maintenance rule (exam 410 101) ↗Pearson VUE US voucher store (Meta's exam delivery partner): Associate exam voucher $99, Professional exam voucher $150 ↗Pearson VUE Meta Certification page: online proctored (OnVUE) or test center ↗What we verified: Badge name, exam code, and renewal rule from Meta's issuer controlled Credly page. Price from the Pearson VUE voucher store (Meta's facebook.com certification pages block automated loading). Rechecked Oct 13, 2026: Pearson VUE US voucher store still lists Associate $99 / Professional $150. Meta's own certification page (facebook.com/business/learn/certification) blocks automated loading (robots disallowed), so price confirmation on a Meta owned page was not possible; Pearson VUE (Meta's exam delivery partner) kept as the price source.
Fees and eligibility can change. Confirm current terms with the issuer before you pay.
