General Rule: We always recommend checking the detailed description on the product page before finalizing your purchase. However, market practices vary by institute:
1. PeopleCert / Axelos (ITIL, PRINCE2, DevOps, etc.)
YES, the exam is included.
For these courses, the exam is mandatory when purchasing the training. This rule strictly follows the regulations, as per the official letter published by Axelos on November 1, 2019.

Note: Although the course includes the exam, in specific cases (such as Self-Study without official training), it is possible to purchase the exam voucher separately in our store.
2. EXIN, ISACA, and IT-Shaped
USUALLY NO (Flexible).
For these institutes, we offer greater freedom of choice. The exam is generally not included in the base price of the course, allowing you to choose the best option for your needs:
-
Bundle: Buy Course + Exam together.
-
Course Only: For those who just want the training.
-
Exam Only: For those who have already studied and only want the certification.
Important: If you choose to buy only the exam, please check if the certification has prerequisites (such as a certificate of completion from an official course), which is common for advanced levels.
