Certification study guides

Blueprint-guided study maps for vendor certification exams. Where a blueprint has been mapped, every objective from the published exam blueprint is linked to the articles, tools and official manual pages that teach it, so you study the right things in the right order; the guides still in preparation say so on their cards and on their pages.

On this build: 78 guides mapped and current, 1 in transition between exam versions, 23 in preparation, 3 retired and kept as records.

Before a vendor's exam, the fundamentals: TCP/IP: Concepts and IP Routing, an open course of 178 slides with speaker notes. Present the slides

How these guides work

The exam blueprint is the spine. Each objective points to deterministic, grounded resources already on this site plus the vendor's own documentation. No filler, and no guessing which topics matter.

What these guides are not

These are independent study aids built from the public exam blueprint. They contain no exam questions, answers, or brain dumps, which violate every vendor's certification agreement. They help you learn the material, not shortcut the exam.

Public sources, used in good faith
