F5 works with two exam providers to administer scheduled, proctored certification exams: Pearson VUE and Certiverse. Because certification exams are proctored, it is important to read and understand the testing instructions from the appropriate exam provider before your exam appointment.

BIG-IP exams are delivered at Pearson VUE testing centers worldwide. You must bring two forms of valid, signed ID to your test session. One must be government-issued and include a photo.

NGINX exams are delivered via Certiverse online proctor. You must have a valid, signed government issued ID when checking in for your online exam.

The name on your ID must match the name listed on your F5 Certified account. If it does not match, email F5 Certified! at support@mail.education.f5.com

Understanding the exam retake policy

The following wait times are required after failing an exam:

  • The first time you fail an exam, you must wait 15 days.
  • The second time, you must wait 30 days.
  • The third time, you must wait 45 days.
  • The fourth time, you must wait one year.
