Programming & Web DevelopmentCPE: C++ Certified Entry-Level Programmer
CPE: C++ Certified Entry-Level Programmer, from the C++ Institute (part of OpenEDG), shows that you understand the foundations of C++, a language used widely in games, finance, engineering software and high-performance systems. It is a good first credential for students and new developers who want to prove a solid start.
The exam covers the basics of C++ programming: data types, operators, flow control, functions, arrays and an introduction to working with objects. Our preparation course builds these skills step by step with guided coding practice, then rehearses the exam format so you are ready to pass and to continue to CPA.
