Managing a music career means understanding how money and rights actually flow through the industry — who owns what, who gets paid when, and what the numbers on a streaming report really mean. The Beep Music Management certification tests this practical, business-side knowledge rather than musical skill.

The assessment covers artist management responsibilities, the two distinct copyrights in recorded music, and royalty types including mechanical royalties. Distribution and rights metadata are tested through concepts like the ISRC and why accurate release metadata matters, while contracts questions cover 360 deals and how an advance is normally structured. Live events knowledge includes what a rider specifies, why a sound check is run, and how merchandise revenue is typically split — plus a genuinely tricky area: why an artist can have millions of streams and still earn very little.

It takes about seven minutes and is scored automatically. Your certificate carries a unique ID that anyone can verify on Beep's verification page. Beep is backed by Shark Tank India, Google for Startups, Microsoft for Startups and AWS, with over 1 lakh people certified across 300+ fields.
