HP certifications – my first impressions

IT certifications usually serve two purposes: A point on your resume or partner programs. HP has a partner program, so they have certifications.

As such, it didn’t take to long until i had to deal with HP certifications. While there are many useful resources on the web regarding Microsoft’s certifications, this isn’t really true for HP certifications.

HP’s certification program offers much more sales certifications than Microsoft – IBM does this too. It’s important to know that the steps to your first exams are radically different from Microsoft’s approach.

The first step is to register for your own HP Student ID. You will need this to register with Prometric.

Now, HP offers two types of exams: Web based (Prefix HP2-) and normal test center based ones (Prefix HP0-). Web based exams are only available for unimportant err sales certifications and some device service certifications.

The list of available certifications is long, and in my opinion pretty irritating. There’s a “HP Certified Systems Engineer”, which is a HP-UX certification, and “HP Accredited Systems Engineer” which is a Systems Integration (read: Windows and Red Hat Linux) certification.

It’s important to know that if you want to go down the Systems Integration path, most of your already earned Microsoft credentials can apply to your HP certification path. This PDF contains all the information you need. The HP AIS certification requires a single HP exam (HP0-055, about which i’ll write tomorrow). HP’s exams are a bit less expensive than Microsoft’s exams, but they usually contain far more questions than Microsoft’s (HP: ~80, Microsoft: ~50).

Another important thing are web based exams. These are very inexpensive (25 US$), and can be done 24/7. They’re usually for sales and service certifications, contain about 50 questions and you have around 1.5 hours of time. The sales certification questions are unbelievably stupid, but not necessarely easy. You can of course use the internet to answer to questions (yes, that’s allowed). But it’s much funnier trying to get such an exam done in less than 20 minutes (which is easily possible).

In general, HP’s certifications aren’t bad – i like that most of your Microsoft certificates already apply, that the sales certifications can be done online (IBM does not offer that and Microsoft doesn’t offer sales certifications), but their web interface is awfully slow. I didn’t like their exams as much as Microsoft’s, but more about that tomorrow.
