Hi Experts,
I’ve gone through the SailPoint Identity Security Administrator certification path, but I noticed that most of the certification-related courses are only accessible through paid training for SailPoint customers and partners.
Is there any possibility for ambassadors or expert ambassadors to access these courses through any perks or special access?
@Gopi2000 As far as I know, there isn’t any special access to certifications for Ambassadors
Hi @Gopi2000
From what I understand, most of the Administrator or Engineer certification paths are mainly available to people who are part of SailPoint customer or partner organizations, since the training is provided through Identity University.
For individuals who are not part of a customer or partner company, the certification that is generally accessible is the Identity Security Leader certification.
Hi @Gopi2000 ,
Nothing for an ambassador sadly as of now. Hope sailpoint considers providing access to trainings or better perks for ambassadors in future.
Write up a business case and present it to your employer of why you need the training for the software that they are paying for.
Either that, or depending on how big a contract you have with SP, they might provide some free training vouchers. Again, write a decent business proposal.
And whilst your waiting, just keep reading all the material that is available online
Hi @phil_awlings ,
If a company is neither a SailPoint partner nor a customer, how can someone get access to the Administrator or Engineer certification learning path?
They can’t. It’s a closed shop system
You can’t complete the Engineer qualification by reading alone, you need to be actively developing in all areas for 12-24 months to have any chance of passing the exam.
The administrator exam still requires a small amount of hands on activity
Even if our organization is a partner/customer with SailPoint, we can not write the exam until and unless the organization books a seat for us. I have experienced it, myself
Hi @BBR1
If company is customer/ partner, We can register, learn and earn Sailpoint professional certification
Engineer and Administrator certifications are Paid certificates
If company is partner or customer, we can register and earn the certifications as mentioned by @kallajayaram
They are not cheap.
Last time I looked it was £2000 for the course and £400 for the exam.
I also know that some companies are hesitant to allow the training to happen as once qualified, employees can started commanding much higher salaries and even jump ship
