Why this site exists
Certification preparation is a crowded market, and most of it is sold by people who have never sat the exam. The result is advice that is technically correct and practically useless: complete syllabuses with no opinion about what to skip, and mock questions that look nothing like the real thing.
MentorsCert is built on the opposite premise. The certification pages state what the exam actually feels like, including the parts that are unfair. The practice questions test one concept from several angles instead of rewarding memorised phrasing. The discount page tells you when waiting six weeks would save you more than any course could.
Almost all of it is free and needs no account. The paid tier funds the question bank; it does not gate the parts that help you decide what to study.
What we do not do
- We do not share live exam content. Doing so violates the candidate agreement and gets certifications revoked, including ours.
- We do not sell or transfer exam vouchers. They are issued to a named person and are generally not transferable.
- We do not rank affiliate offers above better non-affiliate ones. Every affiliate link on the site is labelled as one.
- We do not promise a pass. Nobody honest can, and the ones who do are selling something else.
Independence
MentorsCert is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the Linux Foundation, the CNCF, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft or HashiCorp. Certification names and marks belong to their respective owners. Where an instructor holds an official accreditation, such as Microsoft Certified Trainer or AWS Academy Educator, that accreditation belongs to the individual and not to this site.
