The CertNexus CIoTP exam page states the exam includes 100 items in multiple-choice and multiple-response formats.
120 minutes including 5 minutes for the Candidate Agreement and 5 minutes for the Pearson VUE tutorial, per the official exam details.
The published passing score is 60% or 61% depending on the exam form — CertNexus publishes the range, not one number.
The CIoTP exam voucher is listed at $367.50 on the CertNexus store (sku CNX0002V).
What the CIoTP Actually Tests
CIoTP — Certified Internet of Things Practitioner — is CertNexus's vendor-neutral IoT credential at the foundational/practitioner level. Per the official exam details it launched in October 2018, sunset is TBD, and it sits in the Internet of Things focus area. The exam code is ITP-110. The exam covers IoT ecosystems, connected devices, sensors, actuators, gateways, wired and wireless connectivity, cloud platforms, data processing, machine-to-machine communication, security, privacy, safety, and the IoT system development lifecycle.
The exam is 100 multiple-choice and multiple-response items in 120 minutes, and that 120 minutes is not all exam time — 5 minutes go to the Candidate Agreement and 5 minutes to the Pearson VUE tutorial. The published passing score is 60% or 61% depending on the exam form, so the honest bar is the range, not one number.
CertNexus states no formal programming or electronics experience is required to register — candidates should simply be comfortable setting up and configuring computers and electronic devices. The published course outline runs from core IoT ecosystem concepts through devices, connectivity, cloud platforms, data, and the security, privacy, and safety countermeasures that protect connected systems.
OnVUE at Home or a Test Center: Same Exam, Your Room or Theirs
CertNexus delivers ITP-110 through Pearson VUE, with two published options: in person at a Pearson VUE test center, or online via Pearson OnVUE online proctoring — confirmed on the official exam details, on the store voucher listing (delivery mode PearsonVUE/OnVUE), and on CertNexus's OnVUE program page.
The OnVUE route makes your environment part of the exam. Pearson VUE's published CertNexus requirements ask for Windows 10 or macOS 14 or higher, a working webcam, microphone, and speaker with no headphones, one display only, a stable connection of at least 6 Mbps down and 2 Mbps up, and the ability to close every application except OnVUE. Check-in starts 30 minutes before the appointment with technology checks, photos of you and your ID, and a 360-degree room scan. The $367.50 voucher is redeemed against your Pearson VUE scheduling.
For candidates on a role, integration project, or smart-infrastructure deadline, we pick the delivery mode with the sooner reliable appointment, then work the environment checklist until check-in is routine.
What the CIoTP Costs Before Any Service Conversation
The exam voucher is $367.50 at the CertNexus store (sku CNX0002V). Delivery mode on the voucher listing is PearsonVUE/OnVUE. There is no published free retake, so a failed sitting means buying another voucher at full price.
Passing is not the end of the spend. The CIoTP certification is valid three years from the date it is granted, and CertNexus's published maintenance path for it is retaking the most up-to-date version of the exam before the three-year period expires. The 90-CEC continuing-education route is currently listed for CAIP, CDSP, CEET, and CFR — not CIoTP — so do not budget for it here.
Do not budget from a CAIP or CDSP page and assume the same recertification extras. Confirm the voucher SKU against ITP-110 before you buy.

How Take-My-CIoTP Support Actually Works
Send the brief
Your role, your deadline, your testing window, and whether you have already created a CertNexus account — it changes voucher redemption and scheduling.
Feasibility in plain terms
We confirm the current ITP-110 details against CertNexus's live pages, pick the delivery mode and appointment window, and tell you honestly if the date or setup is wrong.
Environment and identity prep
Room, hardware, ID documents, and the Pearson VUE check-in flow rehearsed until nothing on exam day is improvised.
The sitting
Your CIoTP sitting is handled end to end by a specialist who works connected devices and IoT platforms for a living.
Result, then invoice
The service fee is due only after the agreed result posts. If the pass does not post, there is no service fee.
What You Get
Current-format confirmation
Every format, fee, and policy line on this page re-verified against CertNexus's official exam and store pages on 29 August 2026 — the version you sit is the version we describe.
Outline-wide coverage
Preparation of the sitting spans the published course outline — IoT ecosystems, devices, connectivity, cloud platforms, data, security, privacy, safety, and the development lifecycle — not just the device chapters you already know.
Delivery-mode planning
OnVUE at home versus a test center decided on your room, hardware, ID, and appointment availability — not habit.
Check-in rehearsal
The OnVUE photo, ID, and 360-degree room-scan sequence walked through in advance so exam-day check-in takes minutes, not nerves.
Term-alignment advice
Your three-year validity window planned from day one on the published retake path, mapped to your calendar — with the form-dependent 60%-or-61% bar treated as a range, not a promise.
Is This Safe, and How Discretion Works
Discretion is operational, not theatrical. Communication stays on your chosen channel, nothing posts publicly, and your CertNexus and Pearson VUE details are used for your sitting and nothing else.
If something about your situation makes the sitting a bad risk — ID that will not pass verification, an unusable home setup — we say so at intake, not after.
Pay After You Pass
A CIoTP attempt costs $367.50 before any service conversation begins. Our side is simple: the service fee is due only after the agreed result posts — never before, never in installments that happen to start early.
We do not promise a specific score. We promise the current format, a prepared sitting, and a fee that exists only on a pass.
Candidate Feedback
A hundred IoT questions spanning sensors to cloud, with a smart-facilities role riding on the credential. Sitting handled end to end, pass posted, invoice after.
They flagged at intake that my shared office would fail the room scan, and they were right. We moved the plan to a home sitting, rehearsed check-in, and the exam itself was the calmest part.
Every number on their CIoTP page matched CertNexus's own site when I checked — 100 exam questions, 120 minutes, the 60-or-61 pass bar, $367.50. That accuracy is why I trusted them with the test.
