Transitional and inactive credentials

Is there a change to any of the credentials you have earned? Here’s the place to look for credential changes. The links below show all credentials that have a status other than "active" in the HP Certified Professional Program. Also shown here are paths to replacement credentials. You are not obligated to upgrade your older credentials, but we highly recommend that you keep your skills current by achieving one of the active credentials that is replacing yours. When you complete the requirements, you will automatically be awarded the new certification title.

Note to HP Partners: While you as an individual are not obligated to upgrade a certification, your employer may require that you obtain the latest version of a credential in order for the employer to remain authorized under HP Business Partner program requirements. Partner authorization changes are communicated directly to your employer.
