Storage Networking Certification Program (SNCP)

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.
  • Validate your skills and knowledge
  • Gain peer recognition
  • Make yourself more valuable to your company
  • Target and build upon the skills you have as an industry professional

snia certification policies, and Processes 

SNIA Exam Security/Cheating Policy

It is the policy of SNIA to revoke or refuse a credential to any person suspected of using unauthorized materials obtained using websites that advertise exact copies of SNIA exams. Psychometric data from a person's testing session will isolate patterns of cheating and gives SNIA the right to take legal action.

SNIA Certification Pricing

The cost of High Stakes Proctored Exams is $200.00 USD.  That applies to the SNIA Storage Network Foundations Exam (S10-101), SNIA Storage Networking Management & Administration Exam (S10-201), and SNIA Storage Networking Design & Assessment (S10-300).  Outside the US, pricing is $225.00 and may vary a small percentage up or down by country.  The SNIA Qualified Storage Sales Professional is $100.00 USD worldwide.

SNIA Exam Re-Take Policy

If you take a SNIA exam and do not pass it, SNIA requires that you wait 24 hours before taking it again. If you do not pass the exam a second time, you must wait seven (7) days. If a SNIA Exam is taken three (3) times without a passing score, you must wait 30 days to take it again.

SCSN-E Fulfillment Process

Once you have fulfilled the requirements for the SNIA Expert credential (SCSN-E) , you must email a .pdf copy or scan a paper copy of your SNIA Certification Partner credential to snia_certification@snia.org. It will be processed by SNIA and you will receive a .pdf of your SCSN-E certificate.
