Is training required in order to attempt a certification?
As of July 1st, 2018, it is no longer possible to register for the first attempt at a certification without first completing the required training path. In the instances where there are multiple courses in the training path, all of the material from the path is considered to be a source for the exam. At the end of a Mainline path, the student will receive a voucher (at no additional cost) as part of the materials for the course.
Is it possible to pay directly for an exam instead of acquiring a voucher through a training class?
No. As mentioned above, starting July 1st, 2018, training is now required as part of the certification exercise, so it is no longer possible to directly pay for an initial attempt at a certification exam. Instead, you must register on the Webassessor site using a voucher obtained from the course immediately before the exam on the learning path.

Vouchers for Mainline exams are good for approximately one year, although we very much recommend that you attempt the certification exam sooner, while the material is fresh in your memory.
