Notion Certification study guide
Notion Certification · Work through your exam, one topic at a time.
The Notion Certification is presented under two names in the candidate community: the Notion Certified Administrator Certification and the Notion Certified Consultant Program. Both point to the same underlying skill set - running a Notion workspace competently and advising others on how to structure theirs. This guide is written for the person who administers a company workspace, or who wants to be trusted with a client's, and who is searching for a concrete study path rather than marketing copy. The four domains this guide follows are workspace and content administration; members, groups, and permissions; security, compliance, and data governance; and workspace structure, templates, and AI features. The Notion Certification study guide has 4 sections and about 1,369 words.
01Workspace and content administration
The Workspace and content administration domain tests how an admin configures a Notion workspace and governs content after it is created. Expect questions on workspace settings, role boundaries, page ownership and transfer, trash and restore, duplication, movement, version history, and integration controls.
341 words, about 2 min02Members, groups, and permissions
This domain tests how access is granted and limited: workspace roles, group membership, permission levels, teamspace types, page inheritance, and guest access. The exam favors least-privilege decisions and questions that distinguish direct sharing from inherited access.
369 words, about 2 min03Security, compliance, and data governance
Security, compliance, and data governance tests the controls that protect workspace data and satisfy auditors: SSO, SCIM, two-factor authentication, domain verification, guest restrictions, audit logs, export, retention, and contractual compliance. Questions often ask which control addresses a specific risk.
312 words, about 2 min04Workspace structure, templates, and AI features
Workspace structure, templates, and AI features tests how you organize content for discoverability and reuse, then apply Notion AI safely. Expect questions on teamspaces, nested pages, databases, template types, template buttons, locking, AI writing, AI Q&A, and AI autofill.
