About The SNIA Storage Networking Certification Program

(SNCP) provides a strong foundation of vendor-neutral, systems-level credentials that integrate with and complement individual vendor certifications.

The structure of the SNCP has been enhanced to reflect the advancement and growth of storage networking technologies over the past few years, and to provide for expanded offerings in the future. Through evolving and enhancing the SNCP, the SNIA is establishing a uniform standard by which individual knowledge and skill sets can be judged.

Before the establishment of the SNIA SNCP, there was no single standard by which to measure a professional's knowledge of storage networking technologies. Through its certification program, the SNIA is working to establish open standards for storage networking certification that IT organizations can trust.

Why Vendor-Neutral Certification?
