Just a quick poll to determine thwack user awareness of the SCP Network Management certification. Please let us know if you've heard of the SolarWinds Certified Professional program, and if you're pursuing it.
Thanks!

What about "I know about the cert, but don't have time to pursue alphabet soup"? I chose "studying for it" just because I *am* using the product, after all, but it really doesn't describe where I am. This is approximately the same reason I haven't pursued other certs.
Thanks for the feedback, and I completely understand, time is precious!
Just to clarify though, SCP is not a product cert, but is network management cert. The exam is 2/3 network management skills and 1/3 Orion knowledge.
The SCP Prep Guide provides a decent overview of the objectives along with smple questions.
Hi Thomas,
Thanks for the reply. I'm pretty clear on the purpose of the test, and thank you for the link to the Prep Guide. When/if I have time for the test, that will be a good resource. However, it makes it pretty clear what I'm talking about. There's enough topics in there that don't apply to me, or don't apply yet, that I'd have to spend quite a bit of time that I don't have on information I may never use (not that I don't wish I had time). The first couple of pages of the document include two topics - a protocol-level view of SNMP, and WMI.
If that kind of distinction isn't what you're looking for in your poll, I understand, but I wanted to clarify just in case - interest is not lacking, but time is!
Thanks, any and all feedback helps me better understand the awareness level and opinion of the program.
I appreciate your input
All - there is a new SCP exam prep guide available here.
