Bring ASTRA Ready to your team
ASTRA Ready certifies the judgement your customer-facing people use every day: what a proposal proves, what an offer will really cost, who has the authority to decide, and when the evidence supports a promise. It is built for sales, pre-sales, channel and customer-success teams that sell cloud, security and AI solutions, and for the training providers and colleges that prepare them.
What a team pack includes
Each voucher is the complete path for one person: twelve months of access to the programme, disclosed practice sets with explanations, decision simulations, a full-format mock examination, one supervised examination sitting from home, one free retake, and a credential valid for three years with a public verification page.
Packs are sold for one programme at a time, in fives or tens. You name the people, we issue the vouchers, and your team view shows who has started, who has sat, and who holds a credential. Pack pricing is confirmed individually after you enquire.
Which programme fits your team
- ASTRA Tech Sales Associate programme. New to selling technology, or moving into a customer-facing role from support, marketing or customer success. Foundational commercial judgement about cloud, security and AI offers, using supplied evidence.
- ASTRA Tech Sales Advisor programme. Account executives, pre-sales and channel managers who already lead complex deals. Architecture, economics, assurance, AI governance and channel boundaries combined into one defensible recommendation.
- ASTRA Cybersecurity Sales Specialist programme. People who sell, pre-sell, resell or support security offers. Evidence boundaries, assurance material, proofs and evaluations, security questionnaires, partner authority, and the difference between a capability and a proven customer outcome.
The Programme Guide compares all three in detail.
How the examination works
Candidates sit from home, at a time they choose, on a desktop or laptop with a webcam. Supervision runs on the candidate's own computer; there is no continuous video recording. A trained person reviews any flagged sitting, and nothing is decided by software alone. Pass marks are set from examination evidence and a documented review, not a fixed percentage.
What a credential tells you
A credential attests that the holder passed an ASTRA Ready examination of commercial judgement about cloud, security and AI solutions at the named level. It does not certify technical engineering or security skills, performance in a specific job, or accreditation by an external body. You can check any credential at astraready.com/verify with its ID and the holder's surname.
For training providers and colleges
If you deliver training rather than buy it for your own staff, the partner programme is the better route. Approved partners receive free examination vouchers to certify their trainers, the full faculty kit (decks, trainer guides, videos, handouts and answer sheets), a portal for candidates and vouchers, and a listing in the partner directory. See Partners.
