Yes, you do. You will need to pass the 50-question final exam with a score of 80% or better. The exam consists of multiple-choice questions and if you are unsuccessful on your first attempt, you are allowed unlimited retakes. After the exam, you will be provided with all of the correct answers along with feedback in relation to the questions that were missed. So technically, you are guaranteed to pass… Eventually!
The only way to fail the course is by refusing to complete it. You are allowed to take all of the quizzes and the final exam as many times as you need to in order to pass it. On top of that, you will be coached on questions that you missed with constructive feedback and shown the correct answers. It is worth mentioning that you can only attempt the final exam once per day. So, while it is technically impossible to fail without quitting, it could take you a few more tries.
