Hp0-Y30 certification?

Remedymp

Has anyone here taken the HP0-Y30 certification? I came across this book on amazon. Anyone have experience with HP exams? :

I thought about taking this exam as I work a lot with HP stuff, but figured it would be a waste of time and money. Unless your employer requires it, why do you want to have a certification that nobody cares about? Check job postings and tell me if there are any jobs that actually require HP certifications

You don't check job postings to verify the integrity of a certification.

True, but vendor specific aren't really helping unless the company you work for requires it. I don't think any company I worked for used HP Networking kit so that exam would be pretty pointless ... Cisco / Arista on the other hand .........

BUT if you got this in ADDITION to the more common ones then I agree - it might be of value to an extend. Plus if you do hold a CCNA you are eligible to simply take the online exam from HP in order to obtain the certification.

I have known a few people who have the HP networking certification. Every one of them earned it as part of an employer sponsored training as a result of a VAR relationship with either HP or a vendor (Avaya) that sells HP equipment as part of their solution. If you have the HP certification then flaunt it, but I wouldn't pursue it as a self study standalone certification.
