Common Questions

What is the F5CANR exam?
F5CANR is the F5 Certified Administrator, NGINX Recertification exam — a single 50-item, 60-minute exam introduced in September 2025 that lets holders renew an existing, inactive, or expired F5-CA, NGINX credential without retaking the full four-exam certification path.
Who is eligible to take the F5CANR exam?
Anyone who has previously achieved the F5 Certified Administrator, NGINX (F5-CA, NGINX) certification is eligible — regardless of when it was earned, and including candidates whose certification is inactive or expired.
How much does the F5CANR exam cost and where can I take it?
It costs US $100 when taken online-proctored via Certiverse, or US $130 at a Pearson VUE test center. Schedule it by logging into the F5 Education Services Portal under Certify > Exam Catalog.
What is the passing score for F5CANR?
The passing score is 245. The exam is 60 minutes long and contains 50 items.
What topics does the F5CANR exam cover?
It draws from the four NGINX Administrator knowledge areas: NGINX Management, NGINX Configuration: Knowledge, NGINX Configuration: Demonstrate, and NGINX Troubleshooting — covering day-to-day NGINX web-server administration and basic Linux commands.
How is F5CANR different from the original F5-CA, NGINX certification?
The original credential requires passing four separate 30-minute exams (F5N1–F5N4). F5CANR condenses the same knowledge domains into a single 50-item renewal exam used only to refresh an already-earned credential.
