Certificate in Materials Science

This exam tests your knowledge of material structures, properties, processing methods and performance. It shows where you are strong and where you need more study.

Materials science and engineering students, process and design engineers, quality and failure analysis engineers, research and development professionals, manufacturing engineers or anyone working with material selection or testing.

It covers eight domains: fundamentals of materials science; structure and characterisation; mechanical properties; thermal properties and phase transformations; materials processing and manufacturing; materials selection and design; failure analysis and testing; and advanced materials and applications.

No formal experience is required. Basic understanding of atomic structure, bonding and testing methods will help you perform better.

The exam uses multiple-choice and scenario-based questions to measure your ability to apply materials science concepts in practical situations.

Yes. You will have a fixed time to complete all questions. The exact duration is set by the exam provider.

Each correct answer earns points. Your total score reflects your overall mastery of materials science topics, and you can review a breakdown of your performance by domain.

Yes. You may retake the practice exam as often as you like to build confidence and close any knowledge gaps.

Use materials science textbooks, articles on phase diagrams and testing techniques, microscopy and diffraction guides, case studies and past exam questions to guide your study.

You can access sample questions, study guides, tutorials and case examples on the exam provider’s website or through accredited training partners.
