We're sure you've had questions about our site classifications, so we would like to explain it a little better for you here. If there is still something that is unclear, you're welcome to either email us or use our forums to inquire.
To make life easier on everyone we've classified each site according to the nature of the site.
Here are the descriptions of our classifications:
| ID: | 1 |
| Type: | Braindump |
| Title: | Braindump |
| Description: | This site *definitely* doles out dumps, euphemistically calling them "Practice Tests" or "Study Guides". Stay away unless you want to risk being decertified! Additionally, this site could be owned by, operated by, or affiliated with a company or other website that distributes braindumps; in which case we do not trust it, nor do we support it. There are hundreds of legitimate Practice Test Providers, free or otherwise that will not put your certifications at risk. |

| Title: | Ads & Links |
| Description: | Are you sure you have properly typed in the name of the site you're looking for? Often these type of sites are closely named to take the traffic that could be going to the site you are looking for. If you're 100% positive, then... This site may or may not be clean itself, generally this is an SEO ploy to boost traffic prior to filling it with braindumps. However, the information on these pages is often infested with links to braindump sites. Proceed with caution!! You're welcome to use the search as much as you want, so please check the other links you find as well. |

| Type: | Classroom |
| Title: | Classroom/Personal Training |
| Description: | This type of site primarily deals with students in a classroom environment. There are, however, two types of classroom environments that you should be aware of, "bootcamps" and "accelerated learning". We encourage you to look into the type of classroom training you are interested in prior to entering into any contracts. CertGuard does not see anything wrong with either method of training, as long as the materials they are providing you with adhere to the Certification Vendor's non-disclosure/exam candidate agreements and do not put your certifications at risk. NOTE: Determining the nature of the study materials provided by this classroom environment is beyond the scope of our duties. |

| Type: | Unethical |
| Title: | Unethical Behavior |
| Description: | Handle with care!! Unethical sites have been reported by other members of the community and have a poor reputation for either cheating people out of their hard earned money, or not delivering on the services they promise. This does NOT mean that the study materials provided by this site contain illegal content or will put your certifications at risk. It is meant to be a simple warning so that you will be more careful when dealing with this company. -- The CertGuard Team |

| Type: | MassDistribution |
| Title: | Mass Distribution Website |
| Description: | We have found various types of study materials on this site, so you need to be more specific. Using some study materials found on this site may be dangerous!. Mass Distribution websites are breeding grounds for braindump peddlers, but even if you've found something legitimate the copyright owner of that material may not approve of its distribution on this site. Before you put your certifications at risk, we suggest you do more research on the owner of the study materials. Your best bet is to look for the name of the Practice Test Provider (which is generally associated with the test/download) and then research that Practice Test Provider.
