A roadmap that fits your goal
Filter by domain, tier, issuer, price and lifecycle across every mapped certification, then build a timeline that respects prerequisites and your weekly hours.
A study notebook that keeps up
Notes, links, flashcards and quizzes per certification, with spaced repetition. Pro adds PDF sources and AI-assisted generation.
Never miss a renewal
CPE tracking, annual fees and renewal deadlines on one calendar, exportable to any calendar app — with issuer rules you can override per certification.
Every badge in one place
Import your Credly badges, upload Open Badges and verifiable credentials (we check the issuer's signature), or add public links from Accredible, Microsoft Learn, CertMetrics, Badgr or an issuer's lookup page. One verified portfolio you can share or add to LinkedIn, instead of an account on every badge site.

Frequently asked questions
How is CertAscent different from a course or exam-prep site?
Course and exam-prep sites sell their own training, usually for one exam at a time. CertAscent sells no courses or exams: it maps certifications from every issuer in an order that respects prerequisites and eligibility, keeps the renewal rules, CPE and fees of every credential you hold on one calendar, and links to the training you choose, including free official resources.
Do issuers or training providers pay to be listed or ranked?
No. Nobody pays for placement: recommendations, rankings and comparisons come only from the certification data, your goal and your profile. We use no affiliate links; if we ever add one, it will be labelled and will never change what we recommend.
Is there a free trial?
Yes — 7 days of Pro with capped AI (50 AI credits in Standard mode, 3 PDFs). A card is required; nothing is charged before day 8 and you can cancel anytime. Verified students and invited beta testers start without a card.During the private beta, invited testers get free access with no card. When paid plans open at launch, Pro, Student and Team will start with a 7-day trial (a card will be needed then, except for verified students; cancel anytime), Business with a pilot arranged with our team, and we'll e-mail you before anything changes.During the public beta, accounts are free and no card is needed.
