Terms of Use

General information, not career or financial advice

Everything on CertiGuard, including certification profiles, comparisons, the ROI Index, and guides, is general information about certification costs, exam mechanics, and public occupation pay data. None of it is career advice, financial advice, or a promise of any job or salary outcome. Whether a certification is worth pursuing depends on your market, your employer, and your experience; treat this site as a starting point, not a guarantee.

Accuracy

We cite every figure to a vendor's own pages or a BLS source and describe how in the methodology page, but vendor prices, renewal terms, and BLS occupation data can change after we last verified a page. Check the linked primary source before you rely on anything for a real decision, and use the contact form if you find something out of date.

Using our content

You are welcome to quote, cite, or link to any page on CertiGuard, including the ROI Index's figures, for journalism, research, or your own writing. Attribution back to CertiGuard with a link to the specific page you are citing is all we ask.

No warranty

This site is provided as is, without warranty of any kind. We work to keep every page current and accurate, but we make no guarantee that any cost, renewal term, or wage figure is free of error or has not changed since it was last verified. Use of this site is at your own risk.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as the site changes. The version in effect is the one posted on this page at the time you use the site.
