Is the certification free?

Yes, at launch: the courses, the exam and the badge are free. The Academy is VYBZ's acquisition engine, not a profit center.

Does the badge expire?

No. Level LVL 01 is earned for life. Higher levels will arrive with the Academy's next seasons.

What does the badge change on the VYBZ marketplace?

A capped matching bonus: at similar relevance, a certified DJ ranks first. The badge can never reverse a significant VYBZ Score gap — matching remains first and foremost about relevance.

Direct answer

VYBZ-CERTIFIED is the DJ certification of VYBZ ACADEMY: a demanding final exam covering the culture, fundamentals, techniques and career of DJing. Free at launch, it issues a publicly verifiable online badge and a capped matching bonus on the VYBZ marketplace. Its value comes from its difficulty: the passing grade is deliberately high.

The exam — Season 01 Study first

Transparency — the matching boost

A tie-breaker.
Not a shortcut.

On the marketplace, the VYBZ-CERTIFIED badge acts as a capped bonus in the matching: when two DJs are close in relevance, the certified one goes first. That's it.

The badge can never reverse a significant VYBZ Score gap: matching remains 100 % about contextual relevance — your style, your city, the event. A stamp doesn't replace the right DJ for the right party.
