Certification retirements, with the vendor page behind each date

Vendors announce end-of-life inconsistently, and sometimes barely at all. These are every certification in this catalog with a published end date, soonest first, each linked to the page the date was read from.

Still bookable, on a clock

Exams you can still sit before they close

An exam with an end date is not a bad exam. It is a scheduling decision: passing it before the date earns the certification, and the credential stays valid on its normal renewal terms afterwards unless the vendor says otherwise, which the note says when it does.

Gone

Exams that can no longer be booked

These are kept in the catalog rather than deleted. Somebody arriving from a search for a retired exam is the person who most needs to be told it is retired, and a 404 tells them nothing.

Study for the exam that still exists.

Every certification we cover is written from the vendor's published objectives, and a retired exam is marked as retired on its own page rather than quietly sold.
