Get certified as a Pinterest Media Planner

July 9, 2025

A gold badge shows that someone is a Certified Media Planner.

You know Pinterest media planning inside and out—now let’s make it official. Our new Pinterest Media Planner Certification is live, exclusively on Pinterest Academy. Earn a professional credential that signals your advanced skills and helps boost your visibility to clients and colleagues.

Inspired by you

Our certification program was inspired by demand from advertisers and agencies. After launching the Pinterest Media Buyer Certification, creating an equally valuable credential for media planners was a clear opportunity for our learning community.

Pinterest Certifications are a verified way to showcase expertise for specific professional roles. While Pinterest Academy skills badges signify completion of specific courses, certifications go further. They tie directly to functional focus areas, requiring a deeper understanding of related topics and more hands-on experience in the field.

How to get certified

To earn your certification, you’ll need to earn a score of 70% or higher on a timed exam. The test contains 60 multiple choice questions, all related to media planning. We provide optional practice tests and study guides if you want to brush up on your knowledge before you take the exam. If you don’t pass right away, you’re able to take it again after one week. Once you pass, you’ll get a special gold badge to share with your network.
