How to set up an online testing account

NOTE: If you already have a Prometric online testing account DO NOT create a second online account! You can use your online testing account for both web-based testing and performance-based testing. (Test center exams require that you set up a separate account for that type of exam.)

The web-based interface (see attached for details) used in Performance-based exams is provided by Prometric, but the exams are conducted in HP performance-based test centers. Therefore, before you can schedule any performance-based exam, you must first have a Prometric online testing account.

Also, be sure you have a valid HP Student ID before you begin or you will not be allowed to setup your Prometric account. Note: There is a 24 hour waiting period after receiving your HP Student ID before you can proceed with the Prometric online account setup.

To set up a Prometric online testing account:
  1. Go to your regional Prometric online portal
      » Americas
      » Asia Pacific
      » Europe, Middle East & Africa

  2. Click on "First-time Registration" link

  3. If you already have a Prometric ID, enter it into the box. If not, leave the field blank and a Prometric testing ID will be automatically assigned to you

  4. Select "HP0 - HP Certified Professional Exams" from the drop down menu box and click "Continue".

  5. Complete the registration form and click "Submit". Be sure to write down your Username and Password.
