Where to start with GitHub

If GitHub is new to you, begin with GitHub Foundations (GH-900). It is the foundational exam: no prerequisites, no hands-on experience assumed, and it teaches the vocabulary every later exam takes for granted. Skipping it and going straight to a higher-level exam is the single most common reason people fail one.

Once that is behind you — or straight away, if you already work with GitHub day to day — take the exam that matches your role rather than collecting the set. One certification that maps to your work is a stronger signal than three that do not.

How GitHub certifications are renewed

Renewal is the cost people forget, and it varies more between vendors than the exam fees do.

GitHub Foundations does not expire, so there is nothing to renew. GitHub’s other certifications are moving to Microsoft’s renewal process — check the certification page for the one you hold.

GitHub exams are delivered by Microsoft through Pearson VUE, and the price depends on the country or region where you take the exam. Check the price when you schedule. See GitHub, Inc.’s own certification page for the current terms.

GitHub certification questions, answered

If this is your first GitHub certification, start with GitHub Foundations (GH-900) — it's the foundational exam, has no prerequisites, and assumes no hands-on background. If you already build on GitHub day to day, you can go straight to the associate-level exam that matches your role.
