I am looking for clarification on the E20-522 exam (the clariion solution specialist exam). I was surfing this specific page, I noticed that it says that this exam is for Partners and customers only. http://education.emc.com/guest/certification/framework/default.aspx
I want to know if this is an enforced policy or just a recommendation. I am neither an EMC customer nor a partner. At resent I am unemployed. So can I take this test or no?
Just like the ISM book I wished there was one book that we could refer to when preparing for the clariion exam. Instead the official recommendation requires me to get bits and pieces from many different sources. The video-ILTs are insanely priced. Whoever came up with that pricing should be fired immediatley. There are many companies like Nuggets and Trainsignal that produces excellent videos and they charge around $300 for a subject that is around 15-20 hours in duration. But paying around $1500-$2000 for the videos is not feasible for 99% of us who have to pay for the training out of our own pockets.
A final clarification, are the Clariion host integration videos updated for the new CX4 or are they the same one that were released 3-4 years ago.
In regards to your question regarding the Video ILT's for the CLARiiON Host Integration and Management, the video's are currently updated to the CX 4 and the latest FLARE 29 release.
I have the training vilt via EMC education. I feel that it may not be enough as I have read about white papers. Can some one please help me with the white papers and other supporting material as I am new to EMC and have just passed my ISMv2. I am trying to give e20-522 so I can start supporting the customers for my company.
Once you have begun studying the course materials, you can also take the Practice Test for the E20-552 exam, which can help you identify areas that you might want to focus more time on practicing. The Practice Test can be found here: EMC Proven Professional: Certification Exams and Practice Tests
