Advanced Certification: I liked that not only were there plenty of questions, not in the practice exam, but also that there were more options added — definitely going to separate the wheat from the chaff!
Chris Notley, CEO, Prelim
Core Certification hits all of the “must haves/knows,” and Advanced Certification takes it to the next level! Being certified has helped me polish and reinforce not only my JumpCloud toolbox and knowledge, but also provides the maximum ROI to our company.
Ricky Jordan, Senior Technology Manager, Primitive Skateboarding
