CLP: C Certified Professional Programmer, from the C++ Institute (part of OpenEDG), is the advanced level of its C programming path. It recognises experienced programmers who can write robust, efficient C for demanding environments such as systems software, embedded products and performance-critical code.
The exam focuses on advanced topics, including the finer points of memory and pointers, the standard library, portability and writing reliable, maintainable code. Our preparation course is built for working developers, with in-depth labs and code reviews that sharpen your practice, followed by exam-style rehearsal so you sit the exam with confidence.
