Symantec offers Specialist certification credentials for many availability and security products as a means to validate an individual's technical skills, knowledge, and competence. Professional certification programs are a widely recognized industry practice used to measure skills and competencies. Those certified have demonstrated the knowledge and skills to effectively use and manage Symantec applications, and possess high-performance technical problem solving expertise.
Although each product varies in complexity and depth, all certification exams are created specifically for customers and cover core elements measuring technical knowledge against factors such as installation, configuration, product administration, day-to-day maintenance, and troubleshooting.
The New Symantec Certification Program
The Symantec certification team is in the process of designing and developing a new certification program that will roll out in phases through 2009. The new program targets end users for the Symantec Certified Specialist track and exams. This program also combines our data protection, high availability, and security credentials into a single program that spans the breadth of Symantec solutions. We have begun developing the new program by targeting existing/legacy certification exams. New exams will be posted on the
Training Paths and
Certification Exams page and we will continue to notify customers of the new certification exams that become available throughout the year.
