The SNIA Qualified Sales Professional Program has been discontinued at this time. 

Stay tuned for more news later in 2008


This Qualification credential can be obtained by successfully passing the new SNIA Qualified Sales Professional on-line (web-based) test. This test is available to take at your personal workstation over the internet! The cost is $100 (payable via credit card on-line) with the test length between 37 to 45 questions and you have up to three hours to complete the test.

Please go to http://ibt.prometric.com/snia to take the test.

This is an on-line non-proctored test designed for the Storage Sales Networking Professional or those IT Sales Professionals who are entering this area. The test is designed to be informative and will be updated frequently to meet the needs of the SNIA Qualified Sales Professional participant.

For the successful candidate, they will receive the use of the SQSP 2007 logo and a certificate (pdf). Since it is a non-proctored test, it will not count towards the SNIA SCSN-E credential.

SNIA Qualified Sales Professional test description

  • FC Storage Networking (SAN)
  • IP Storage Networking (SAN)
