HP Security Focused Certification Exams

December 17, 2012 News 0 Comment

The long list of HP certification exams available today includes tests with the accredited solutions expert (ASE) and accredited technical professional (ATP) designations. The HP certification exams in this discipline focus are as follows:

  • HP0-M56 – Implementing HP TippingPoint Solutions (ASE)
  • HP2-N29 – Understanding HP TippingPoint Solutions (ATP)

Both the HP0-M56 and the HP2-N29 exams confer a formal HP certification upon successful completion, making them not only a stand alone validation of security focused, HP product related knowledge and skills, but also an expansion of documented competencies for IT professionals as well.

The HP0-M56 exam contains 50, multiple choice questions which must be completed within one hour. There is additionally a practical lab portion to the HP0-M56 exam, and test takers have six hours to demonstrate their hands on expertise in dealing with TippingPoint HP technologies.

The HP2-N29 exam features just 25 questions in total and candidates have one hour to finish the test. As this exam is so brief, mastery of the testing materials is essential to successfully passing the test. Exam preparation is key to success with either test, and gaining as much hands on experience as possible before scheduling a formal HP certification exam is also recommended.

Exam prep activities should include a combination of training courses, self study, practice exams, and tutorial reviews. HP offers focused training in online and instructor led courses. Tutorials and practice exams can be obtained online as well through sites like TestsLive.com. HP’s Learning Center offers registered testing candidates additional options for enhancing their exam preparation activities to promote success in completing any HP certification exam.
