How to start being HP Certified

[AnthonyINIT]

So I have been working with HP servers many years now, my company has grown to a position to give me access to a training budget and since I have seemingly worked on most HP servers they want me to be the HP POC
I have looked at the available training which looks varied and confusing
I can literally pick any HP exam I would like but did not expect so many!
Are there some in the industry that are looked upon higher than others? I know it depends where I want to go ect but HP has so many exams there must be some that are highly sought after?

My company want to be able to sell me to their current client base do more HP related work if that helps but have certifications that make my company and me (indirectly) look good while they do so

Congratulations. That's great that your company is willing to invest in training and certification!

You'll want to start by reviewing the certification home page, if you have not already: https://certification-learning.hpe.com/tr. This will give you an overview of the program.

Our certifications are based on a technical ladder with levels that build on each other and in most cases, you will require the lower level to move to the next level of certifications. The levels are ATP, ASE, and Master ASE. The Master ASEs are some of the most respected in the industry and signify years of knowledge and experience. We also have product certifications that focus on a specific HPE product. These are not part of the technical ladder but maybe a requirement for other technical certifications.

Here are the certification portfolios.

You have a couple of training options that include virtual instructor-led training or HPE Press study guides. The training link from each certification will list the options.

To specialize in Servers, you'll want to start at the ATP level with the ATP Hybrid IT certification https://certification-learning.hpe.com/ext/datacard/Certification/ATP-HITSolV2. From there you'll step up to the ASE Server Solutions certification. 

If you have questions about the program, getting started or registering, you can contact our support team: https://certification-learning.hpe.com/TR/contact.html
