CertExamHQ is an independent directory of IT certification exams. It exists because the information you need before committing to a certification — the exam code, what the syllabus actually weights, how long it runs, what it costs, whether it has been superseded — is scattered across vendor sites that are each organised around their own products.
221 exams from 21 vendors, organised into 15 technology categories. Every exam has a page covering its code, level, weighted syllabus domains, format, cost, the skills it validates and who it is aimed at, plus links to related exams and to the official vendor page.
Some exams also have practice material. The working catalogue contains 60,202 questions across 198 exams; each available exam publishes up to 25 selected questions free. Complete banks are delivered through a separate Exam Pass for the selected exam.
Exam metadata is compiled from publicly available vendor documentation: exam guides, skills outlines and certification programme pages. Each exam page shows when its record was last reviewed and links to the official source.
Vendors change exam objectives, pricing and availability without much notice, and some do not publish figures at all — we say “not published” in those cases rather than guessing. Always confirm details on the official page before you book.
Question banks on this site come from more than one place, and every bank says which it is on its own page. Some are written here against the published exam objectives. Others are community-contributed — compiled from exam discussions posted publicly by other people. We do not knowingly accept material represented as copied from a live exam.
That is partly a legal position — reproducing live exam questions breaches the agreement every candidate signs before sitting an exam — and partly a practical one. Memorising a question bank produces people who pass exams and cannot do the work, which is bad for them, bad for the teams that hire them, and ultimately bad for the value of the certification itself.
Questions written here include an explanation of why the correct answer is correct, and usually why the plausible wrong answers are wrong — that is the part that actually teaches. Eligible community discussions are quality-filtered to surface useful explanations and official references, but remain attributed third-party opinion. Read the full content policy.

Free-preview bookmarks, study progress and recently viewed exams are stored in your browser, so they stay on that device and disappear if you clear its data. An email-based account is used only to deliver Exam Pass access and sync paid-exam progress; payment details are handled by the payment provider rather than stored here. The privacy page has the details.
If something here is wrong or out of date, please report it at [email protected]. Exam data changes constantly and corrections from people who have actually sat the exam are the most valuable input we get.
