Get Certified at NetApp INSIGHT 2019

NetApp INSIGHT 2019 Las Vegas is just around the corner (Monday, October 28 through Wednesday, October 30). In addition to being a great place to hear about all the latest developments from NetApp, listening to inspiring speakers and attend innovative sessions, and catching up with friends and colleagues, NetApp University will be there and will be proctoring live and virtual certification exams. And the best part is that it’s all free—included with the price of your conference pass. I highly encourage you to make time in your schedules to get certified. You can take as many tests as you want, as many times as you want. It’s a fabulous opportunity that you really don’t want to miss.

I am also looking forward to participating in our “Are You Certifiable?” panel with colleagues Brandi Einhorn, Steve Botkin, and fellow A-Team member, Paula Silva. Join us for a roundtable discussion on certification. You will learn about the NetApp Job Task Analysis used to blueprint an exam, the Item Development Workshop process, the value of certification, and NetApp’s investment in industry certification. We will discuss psychometrics, the study of creating exams, observing the behaviour of test takers, and applying knowledge to exams. Come learn about the exam process, meet the experts who create the exams, and learn about becoming a Subject Matter Expert.

Don’t miss your opportunity to take free exams and get certified. Need a review on exam topics? Sign up for a preparation session (see the list below) and take the new NSO-402 Hybrid Cloud Implementation DevOps Engineer exam. Also, to meet the NSO-602 NCHC requirement, the Microsoft AZ-300 Azure Architect Technologies and AZ-301 Azure Architect Design Microsoft exams are also available. Pass the NSO-602 exam and then pass both Azure exams to earn that certification. Make sure to sign up via Pearson VUE to reserve your spot. Walk-ins are also usually available. The NetApp INSIGHT test center information can be found on the Pearson VUE website.

If you’re interested in getting certified at INSIGHT, be sure to add these sessions to your agenda (use Schedule Builder to make sure you don’t lose track of them!).
