Earning an IBM Professional Certification validates your skills and demonstrates proficiency in the latest IBM technology and solutions. It can help students build a resume that will differentiate them in the marketplace when seeking their first professional jobs.

Faculty members and students are eligible for discounts on IBM Certification tests. For purposes of getting started with certification, we recommend starting with the basic topics.

Most of our IBM Certification tests have assessment tests which are a great diagnostic tool for educators and students to use as part of their test preparation to determine exam readiness. Check out the detailed Test Preparation section for each certification exam.
