How do you integrate features from someone else page into your website?

I plan to code everything out, but a feature that my company wants to offer already exist; which is a test offered to find out more about yourself. We do not have access to it yet, but we will once we complete the certification process. I was working with the sales representative and she asked me what would I need to integrate it into our web application, which is a good question... because I was wondering the same thing. Is it possible or will I need to build it out from scratch?

I'm not quite sure what the "certification process" you are referring to is, but if you are obtaining official permission to use this resource from the current provider, they should also provide instructions on how to integrate it into your website. There are a number of techniques to do this, but their recommendation will likely be the easiest and/or least error-prone.

On the other hand, if you were thinking of using something like this without permission you might be risking some legal liability.

I'd need more specific information about the other resource (and assurance that a ToS agreement was being honored) to make any technical suggestions.

No nothing illegal, the salesperson that I was working with do not know what to do or know if it's ever done. So she asked me if I had an idea of what is needed, but I have no clue. I will wait till she talks with the IT people and see what she finds out.
