Yes — course materials and exam registrations are separate purchases with independent expiration dates.
How It Works
Important: Purchasing course materials does not register you for an exam. You must purchase an exam seat separately, even if your course package includes an exam attempt in the bundle name.
- Course materials give you access to online study content for one year.
- Exam registration reserves your exam seat for a specific testing window.
- Purchasing one does not include the other. You need both to study and take your exam.
Common Misunderstandings
- Course materials and exams have different expiration dates. Your course access is one year from purchase; your exam registration is tied to a specific testing window.
- Exam retakes do not restore expired course access. If your materials have expired, you’ll need to repurchase them.
- The testing window selected during course purchase is only a planning estimate — it does not bind you to that window.
