CertiQ — Qiskit v2.x Certification Prep

CertiQ is an unofficial, free, community-built guided learning platform for the IBM C1000-179 exam ("Fundamentals of Quantum Computing Using Qiskit v2.X Developer").

This is an independent community project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by IBM. Qiskit is a trademark of IBM. All practice content is generated from public exam objectives and open documentation — never from actual exam content.

What makes it different

• Machine-verified questions: every code-bearing practice question is executed at build time against a pinned Qiskit 2.x stack — correct answers are proven, wrong answers are disproven, and the proof ships with the question.
• Built by AI, served static: all intelligence (generation, verification, remediation advice, study sequencing) runs at build time. The site itself is fully static — no accounts, no backend, no runtime AI; Anki decks and the EPUB work offline. Progress lives in your browser (localStorage).
• Guided, not just quizzed: official syllabus → curated official resources (IBM Quantum docs & Learning) → drills → mock exam (faithful 68 questions / 90 minutes / pass at 47) → per-section remediation.
• Community-connected: directory of advocate-created practice exams (credited & linked), with build-time validation reports; freshness CI re-verifies everything on every Qiskit release.
