When does exam registration/voucher purchase close for the Foundational Certificate?

[AlexAurica]

The 2025 Foundational Certificate exam opens today, when is the last day to buy it and the last day to complete it?

Also, do you have to complete the test the moment you buy it, or do you simply get a voucher and use it when you want to within the time-frame in my first question?

Hi @AlexAurica. Our exams are updated every 18-24 months, so you can anticipate this particular exam version will remain available until a new exam version is released following exam development efforts. You can subscribe to our Exam Retirement Schedule article to receive notifications when we add new exams versions that are pending retirement. 

When you purchase an exam voucher, you have a year from the date of purchase to leverage the exam code on the Pearson VUE website to register for and take any exam we offer at that time. You do not need to take the exam right away when you buy a voucher. You can learn more about the exam registration process here.

I hope this helps, and please let me know if you have any further questions!
