Credentials¶
How to read this index¶
- Formal certification means an issuer exam or equivalent assessed program.
- Applied/assessed skill credentials and badges are narrower scenario credentials and are not interchangeable with multi-year certifications.
- Credential families are overview pages for many individual credentials and must not inflate individual credential counts.
- Exam cost vs course access: paid exams are separate from free or account-gated learning content.
- Validity uses a concise verified summary or Unknown / not stated.
Catalog inventory: 5 total records (4 individual credentials, 1 family/overview records).
