EMC Proven Professional Exams

EMC’s award-winning training and certification offers you the opportunity to build your knowledge and expertise in the IT industry. We offer flexible training options to maximize the value of your investment, and a variety of benefits once you join the elite group of EMC Proven Professionals.

Enhanced Security Measures

As part of its ongoing commitment to ensuring the integrity and value of your certification, the EMC Proven Professional program has introduced some advanced security measures.

Candidates will be asked to provide a digital signature and have a photo taken prior to sitting for an exam. These security measures are intended to eliminate proxy test taking.

Provisional Exam Scoring

Beginning October 2011, candidates will receive a “Provisional Exam Score Report”. The report will reflect a “provisional score” rather than a final score. Pending grading confirmation, exam results will be available in the candidate’s CertTracker account within three business days. This additional security measure will be implemented gradually, addressing all EMC Proven Professional exams by 2013.

If you have questions, please contact EDServices@emc.com.

Any individual who has a physical or mental impairment or limitation described as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) may request special examination arrangements. Candidates who wish to request special accommodations for ADA should contact Pearson VUE.
