How do I register for the F5 Certified program?

The F5 Certified professional certification program is a closed program and all participants need to register and sign the candidate agreement before taking any exams.

3. Click on the SIGN UP link below the email field.

4. Complete the required fields: First Name, Last Name, Email, Country, Password. You will receive an email with a link to complete your registration.

NOTE: Effective December 2024, the Candidate Portal is connected to F5 SSO. To align your certification data to your F5 account, use the email address you use in LearnF5, F5 Support, MyF5, DevCentral, etc.
