What it is

A practical certification, run inside the FXlayer platform

FXlayer keeps one record for every Shipping Bill, Bill of Entry and remittance, from invoice to closure in EDPMS and IDPMS, and generates the bank papers from that record. The certification shows you can run those workflows correctly and know who does what. FXlayer prepares the records, letters and worksheets. Filing and decisions rest with the business, its CA and its AD bank, and the AD bank closes EDPMS and IDPMS entries.

Watch

Short FXlayer Academy videos, including full end-to-end demos of the Export, Import, Services and Merchanting modules. English audio track available.

Read

A short guide for each module: the workflow, the documents and the rules you need to know.

Do

Each module lists the hands-on steps. The training sandbox, a separate workspace with sample records, opens in a later release. Your live books are never used.

Pass

Each quiz is marked from the answer key. You need 70%. Written answers, when that review is switched on, are checked by the review assistant and a person looks at borderline results.

Questions

Before you apply

What does it cost?

Partners: free, always, plus 5 staff a year by email invite. Everyone else: ₹5,000 + GST for the full certification, or ₹2,000 + GST for one module. Launch offer: free for the first 1,000 people until 31 December 2026. The Academy videos stay free for everyone.

Do I need a paid FXlayer plan?

No. The lessons and quizzes do not need a plan. Hands-on tasks will run in an Academy sandbox with sample records, including Services, Merchanting, the statement check and Document Studio, when that sandbox opens. It is not open in this release.

Who reviews my answers?

Quizzes are marked from the answer key. You need 70%. Written answers are reviewed by FXlayer's review assistant, which uses Claude, when that review is switched on. A person checks borderline or disputed results.

What if I disagree with my result?

Use "Dispute this result" within 7 days. It goes to a reviewer who wasn't involved in your attempt, and to hello@fxlayerhq.com.

Do I need real client data?

No, and please don't use any. Every task uses fictitious sample data.

Is this a professional licence?

No. It certifies that you know the FXlayer platform workflow. It isn't a professional licence or a regulatory approval. Filing and decisions rest with the business, its CA and its AD bank.

What language are the videos in?

The end-to-end demos have Hindi narration with an English audio track (Settings › Audio track), and the screens are in English.

Does the certificate expire?

Yes, after one year, because RBI, DGFT and CBIC rules and the platform keep changing. You can recertify for life at 20% of the list price: ₹1,000 + GST for the full certification, or ₹400 + GST for a module, including when the certificate was free. If a major rule changes during the year, current holders are asked to take a short update.
