What is an Exam Voucher?

A CompTIA exam voucher is a unique code that will enable you to take your exam at an authorized CompTIA Test Service Provider. Exam vouchers are used similar to a gift card. For example, employers often use vouchers to pay for their employees’ exams or parents may purchase vouchers for their children.

Exam Voucher Details

• Vouchers are non-refundable and non-returnable.
• One voucher is applicable towards one exam at an authorized CompTIA Test Service Provider.

• You must register and take your exam prior to the voucher expiration date.
