Question

How are Hewlett Packard Enterprise partner qualifications different than certifications?

Answer

Qualifications are specifically for HPE authorized service partners. They qualify HPE service partners to support commercial and some enterprise products including warranty repair. The details of this support and the products covered are specified in your partner authorization agreement. Qualifications must be achieved before performing eligible support services.

Certifications are awarded by the HPE Certification and Learning Program to recognize proven expertise on HPE technologies and solutions. Certifications are open to all individuals. The level of certification awarded is dependent upon your technical skills and sales competencies. Certifications are a requirement for many qualifications. A qualification may require you to obtain a certification, or possibly, obtain a certification plus additional testing or training.
