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.

Online: 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
