ABIOLA online Academy | Examination certificates

Certificates with layout in “Silver” and “Gold”

The basic idea of ABIOLA Exam is that students of the ABIOLA online Academy can achieve exceptional certificates and bonuses through diligent study and by successfully passing exams.

As of January 2025, the first ABIOLA exam for the “mySolar” course was presented. Already this year, 33 exam certificates have been successfully completed by students.

At the beginning of 2026, two more ABIOLA exams for the courses “Environment & Climate” and “LibreOffice Calc” were presented.

These certificates can later be used by students for their professional careers.

For each ABIOLA course exam, two different certificates must be achieved (silver and gold).

Silver

The requirement for achieving Silver status is determined in the respective ABIOLA exam of a course. These are described in detail below.

After reaching this certificate, you can then download and print it out independently.

Gold

At this level, you can also find the quota at the bottom of the ABIOLA exam of the respective course.

The certificate with a golden layout will also be available for download.

Basically to the course exams

First, study the criteria of a certificate exam carefully

Basic principles

We distinguish between quizzes and exam questions.
At the end of each lesson in every course, there is usually a quiz with approximately 10 questions. This totals 50-80 questions.
In addition to the lesson quizzes, further questions are prepared for each exam, which we call exam questions. There are usually a total of 130-160 questions available for each course exam.

If you want to take a course exam, you must have achieved the following beforehand:
1. All topics in the course have been studied. Everything must be checked off in green.
2. All lesson quizzes have been successfully completed.
3. All quiz questions are generally single choice. If a quiz is failed, all correct and incorrect answers are displayed. Therefore, it is relatively easy to pass a lesson quiz. All questions must be answered correctly. A lesson quiz can be repeated as many times as desired.

A course exam consists of additional exam questions not included in the lesson quizzes. Some of these may be single choice questions. Some course exams may also include questions requiring specific answers. A course exam can also be repeated as many times as desired.
The exact criteria for passing course exams are described below.
Students have a set time limit for completing the course. Currently, this is 4 hours.
Quotas are set for each course that students must achieve to unlock the two possible certificates.
Each certificate is issued in the name displayed in the upper right corner of the student’s account.

We summarize once again:
You must have successfully completed all topics and quizzes of a course in order to be admitted to a course exam. Each course exam contains a lot of questions, although you have to answer fewer questions correctly to reach the first level “Silver” than with “Gold”. The questions themselves are randomly selected for each exam.

Bonuses for course certificates achieved

These valuable bonuses are given to students who have achieved course certificates
(For organizational reasons, however, this only applies to Academy students who are themselves enrolled in one of the African schools with ABIOLA-Academy connection).

In this block article you will find much more information about the exam rewards:

Why are the premiums settled via “Credit”?

1. Reasons for using “credits”?
2. Students can choose their own reward for each successful completion.
3. Students can choose the same reward multiple times.
4. A reward can also have a different value, e.g., 0.5 credits or 2 credits.
5. Credit management is easier to organize from a software perspective.

This is how the billing is done

The credit system is easy to use:
1. Each Silver exam earns a student one credit.
2. Each Gold exam also earns one credit.
3. Since every student must achieve Silver before taking a Gold exam, two credits are awarded for each Gold exam.
4. Currently, three course exams are offered. Therefore, a student can earn a maximum of 3 x 2 = 6 credits.

Note:
The word “credit” was chosen arbitrarily. We could have also called it “points” or “ABIOLA dollars” 🙂

This is how the handover of the bonuses is planned

The distribution of rewards is complex:
1. Two campaigns are conducted per year (January-June and July-December).
2. After each campaign, the credits must be redeemed. Credits cannot be extended for organizational reasons.
3. Unredeemed rewards are forfeited.
4. Rewards are distributed via the structure “Country | Pickup Location | School”.
5. After each campaign, every school receives a list of all students with credits.
6. The school then coordinates the distribution with the pickup location.
7. Only rewards that are currently available in the respective African country or are expected to become available soon can be selected.

Current availability of rewards

Overview Table:
After the rewards have been delivered to Ghana, Benin, Nigeria, and Cameroon, a table is displayed here showing the rewards available in each country.

Note:
We will use the “TABLETS TO WEB PAGES” function from the “LibreOffice Calc” course, Topic C7_09. Each supervisor in the African country will maintain their own inventory in the shared Google Sheet.

Checking your own credits

Credit Check:
Here you will be able to view your personal credit balance in the future.
We will differentiate between your available and completed credits.

Note:
This feature is planned for April 2026. The H1/2026 campaign already starts on January 1, 2026.

Criteria for achieving Course Certificates

Exam exams are currently offered for these courses.

EXAM “MY SOLAR”

Silver:
A mySolar exam (silver) consists of 50 single choice questions. These questions are randomly selected from a pool of 165 for each exam. The pass rate is 70%, meaning at least 35 correct answers are required to pass.

Gold:
A mySolar exam (gold) also consists of 50 questions, but these are significantly more challenging. 24 questions are from quizzes. 16 are additional multiple-choice questions. The remaining 8 questions require a single, undefined answer. These questions are also randomly selected from a pool of 165 for each exam. The pass rate is 80%, meaning at least 40 correct answers are required to pass.

Conclusion:
Achieving mySolar Gold can be considered very challenging. With this knowledge, you will be able to plan and commission off-grid
photovoltaic systems yourself. Furthermore, the course and exam will teach you how to achieve maximum benefit from available solar energy with minimal capital investment.

EXAM “ENVIRONMENT & CLIMATE”

Silver:
An Environment & Climate exam (silver) consists of 50 single choice questions. These questions are randomly selected from a pool of 150 for each exam. The passing score is 80%. This means that at least 40 correct answers are required to pass the exam.

Gold:
An Environment & Climate exam (gold) consists of 80 single choice questions. These questions are also randomly selected from a pool of 150 for each exam. The passing score is 80%. This means that at least 64 correct answers are required to pass the exam.

Conclusion:
The goal of the exam is not for you to be able to answer all the questions posed during or after the exam by heart. The exam ensures that fundamental concepts are firmly established in your memory. You can update the specific information on individual topics later in life using available resources. Thus, the course and exam form the basis for your personal attitude towards environmentally friendly sustainability.

EXAM “LIBRE OFFICE CALC”

Silver:
A LibreOffice Calc exam (silver) consists of 50 single choice questions. These questions are randomly selected from a pool of 135 for each exam. The pass rate is 80%. This means that at least 40 correct answers are required to pass the exam.

Gold:
A LibreOffice Calc exam (gold) consists of 80 single choice questions. These questions are also randomly selected from a pool of 135 for each exam. The pass rate is 80%. This means that at least 64 correct answers are required to pass the exam.

Conclusion:
The goal of the exam is not for you to be able to answer all the questions from memory, as this would be impossible after a long time anyway. Rather, it is important that you become familiar with many of the features of a spreadsheet program. You learn “what” you can do, not “how.” Hence the increased number of questions. You’ll be able to remember this opportunity for the rest of your life. You’ll be able to quickly find instructions on how to do this in the media. The course and exam fundamentals will give you a solid understanding of spreadsheets, which you can later use in LibreOffice, Excel, or Google Sheets.

ㅤㅤㅤ

Further exams are still possible for the current courses “Linux Programs“, “Electronics Basic” and “Linux Introduction“. Whether and how quickly these are created also depends on the acceptance of the three course exams available so far by the approximately 3,500 students in the ABIOLA online Academy.
