Certification!!

[dv_3]

Hi,

I am kris working for HCL . I was thinking of completing my certification in "Implementation of Service Manager v7". but i could not

find it in the active certification list. Has it got expired?? Also i could'nt find it in the expired list either. What i could make out is Service manager Design and tailoring v7 has got replaced by Implementation of Service Manager v9.

I am completely confused. Can anyone help me out regarding which one i should attempt or complete to get certified?

Hi Grant,

We do not have a Master ASE Convergence certification that is inactive. I have browsed the list of certs  - both active and inactive  - to see if I could I could an alternative certification that you are referring to but nothing stood out.

The Master ASE CI will be launching 15th Jan.

Please give me a little more information regarding the certification you are referring too?

Thank you,

Seana
