F5 Certified Administrator Exams,
These are the entry-level certifications for F5 professionals, forming the foundation of your entire certification journey. They cover a wide range of core BIG-IP skills — from installation and licensing to traffic management and basic troubleshooting.
Earning these certifications demonstrates to employers that you possess the essential, hands-on knowledge to operate and support BIG-IP in real-world environments. Whether you're starting fresh or building on existing experience, this is the first step toward becoming F5-certified and a solid sign that you're ready to work confidently in F5 environments.
Note: The F5 Certified Administrator exams are split into two distinct tracks, one for BIG-IP (TMOS-based) and one for NGINX. BIG-IP focuses on network and application delivery infrastructure, while NGINX is a high-performance web server, reverse proxy, and load balancer.
These are separate technologies, and you do not need to complete both.
F5 Certified Administrator
Pass the F5 Certified Administrator exam and demonstrate your ability to run BIG-IP in a production environment. You'll walk away with the confidence and skills to deploy, configure, and manage F5 devices in real-world environments from traffic handling to user access and platform setup. When you pass this, you are officially F5 Certified
F5 Certified Administrator, NGINX
Pass the 4x F5 Certified Administrator NGINX exams and prove you can run NGINX in a production environment. You'll walk away with the skills and confidence to install, configure, and manage NGINX in real-world environments, covering load balancing, reverse proxying, secure traffic handling, and performance tuning.
F5 Certified Technology Specialist
These specialist-level exams focus on individual BIG-IP modules, such as LTM, DNS, ASM, and APM. Each exam takes you deeper into a specific technology area and helps build the hands-on skills needed to configure, troubleshoot, and support F5 in production environments.
Certifying at this level demonstrates your ability to handle advanced tasks with confidence and specialise in the modules most relevant to your role or career path. It’s the next step after Administrator, and once completed, you’ll be recognised as a certified F5 specialist, ready to stand out in the global F5 job market.
Note: We recommend taking the LTM exam first, as all other modules relate to or build upon core LTM functionality in some way.
