What are Skillguard tests like?

Skillguard Certifications are developed, validated, and reviewed by experts to measure the accessibility level of the user. Skillguard tests generally consist of multiple choice questions. The questions are designed to test real-world knowledge, as opposed to academic or "book" knowledge. You can expect to see sample code, images and scenarios associated with many of the items. Each question has one or more correct answer depending upon the question. The tests do not penalize for guessing, so individuals are encouraged to make educated guesses in situations where there is uncertainty as to which answer is correct. Most Skillguard tests are 60 questions in length, and take 30 minutes to complete the test.

Why do certifications expire?

We are constantly striving to keep up with the ever-changing and growing markets; therefore, our tests are constantly updated to include the most current information and topics. As a result, the certifications are only valid for 3 years, in order to ensure the validity of these tests to potential employers, after which you must retake the online test.
