Mpe Certification Announcement

The OpenMPE Board of Directors is pleased to announce that HP has agreed to reinstate the credentials for certified MPE/iX System Administrators and Pre-Sales Professionals. The reinstated certifications are "inactive", meaning that no re-certifications or new certifications can be obtained. This effort, led by Board member Paul Edwards, indicates that success is possible even when the odds seem insurmountable!

The Board is continuing to advocate with HP for the tests to be re-administered so that certificate holders can update their certifications to the 7.5 level of MPE/iX and other professionals wishing to document their knowledge of MPE can achieve certification.

If you'd like to read more about this, please visit:

If MPE certification is important to you, please speak out to let HP know that you want it!
