The first step toward CIW certification is the CIW Foundations series. After succesful completion of the Foundations exam, candidates are awarded a CIW Associate certification. After acheiving CIW Associate status, candidates can choose from three Master CIW certification tracks. Candidates who pass the CIW Foundations can earn the CIW Professional designation upon passing any CIW job role series exam. CIW Professionals may earn Master CIW Administrator, Master CIW Designer, or Master CIW Enterprise Developer designation after completing all the series in a track.
CIW Foundations is a prerequisite for all CIW series. To become a CIW Associate, candidates must pass the CIW Foundations exam (1D0-410) administered by Prometric and VUE. CIW accepts score reports from candidates who have passed the CompTIA i-Net+ exam and will award Foundations exam credit to these individuals. For more information, refer to our i-Net+ web page.

To earn a CIW Professional designation, candidates must achieve the CIW Associate certification and pass any CIW job role series exam. Candidates who have passed multiple CIW series exams are still considered a CIW Professional until they pass the required exams for a Master CIW certification. Most CIW Professionals seek Master CIW certification and are in the process of passing the required series exams necessary to become a Master CIW Administrator, Master CIW Enterprise Developer, or a Master CIW Designer.
To become Master CIW certified, it is recommended that candidates take each training series in sequence. For example, to achieve a Master CIW Administrator certification, it is recommended that candidates get trained in CIW Server Administrator curriculum, then CIW Internetworking Professional curriculum, and then CIW Security Professional curriculum. It is also recommended, but not required, that candidates pass each CIW series exam before sitting the next CIW series training. This strategy allows them to focus on the technology for each CIW series before adding more complex technologies into the mix. Having passed all of the series exams in a Master CIW track, candidates will receive their Master CIW certificate.
