What’s free, and stays free
The whole qualification catalog — every certification’s exam blueprint, all 76 work roles’ requirements, and the 8570 baseline table DoD took offline — with a source and a date on every entry. No account, no trial clock, no email wall. If all you need is to look up what your contract requires, you never pay us anything.
Why give that away? Because a product that charges you to read the requirement has an incentive to make the requirement look more complicated than it is. Certification is one of three routes, and two of them we can’t sell you.
Read how 8140 qualification actually worksBefore you pay, the limits
The things a sales page usually leaves for you to find on day two.
Courseware covers IT and Cybersecurity
The two elements with a role-differentiated matrix published. The other five are in the free catalog but have no courses yet.
Lessons are written, not filmed
If you are buying for video, buy elsewhere. Labs are written scenarios, not instrumented environments.
Skill criteria are self-attested
Whether you hold a certification is a fact about the issuer’s records. Not checkable from here, so we don’t fake a green check.
We can’t tell you that you are qualified
We give you evidence and trace every requirement to its source. The determination belongs to your component.
Every requirement traced to its source
Each work role, qualification option and exam blueprint carries a source link, the date that source was published, and the date we last checked it. Where a vendor doesn't publish a number, we don't supply one. Where our own sourcing stops, the product says so out loud — including the fact that the canonical Qualification Matrix V2.1 workbook sits behind a CAC login we could not read.

More questions — refunds, cancellation, whether DoD accepts the certs? The FAQ answers them plainly.
