The types of credentials and the number of exams to earn a credential is a function of the product’s complexity in the areas of implementation, administration and support. When both an ACIS and ACSS certification exists for a product, holding the ACIS credential may be a requirement to earn the ACSS credential. Be sure to check the ACSS Credential Curriculum Map for detailed credential requirements. When holding the ACIS credential is a requirement, passing the ACIS exam first is recommended but not required; credential exams may be taken in any order.

Exams Preparing for Avaya Credential Exams Log-in to the Avaya Learning Center at www.avaya-learning.com and visit the Avaya Certification Program landing page for a complete listing of available certifications, their curriculum maps and all associated training to prepare for Avaya certification exams. Training is recommended and core training courses are often supplemented as part of a comprehensive study program. Review the credential, exam and all curriculum map training course descriptions to determine the scope of training and experience most appropriate for you to prepare for the exam. Technology Fundamentals Selling, designing, implementing and maintaining Avaya Products / Solutions require a solid understanding of the core technologies upon which they are built. Available Free-of-Charge to Avaya Associates, Business Partners and Customers is WestNet’s Foundational Core Knowledge Assessment to verify one’s prerequisite knowledge in data, telephony and convergence. Use this prescriptive assessment tool to identify your areas of technology expertise and areas needing improvement. Following the assessment you will receive a personal learning plan (delivered via email) targeting specific improvements and identifying which WestNet e-courses are recommended to fill knowledge gaps. Access the “Foundational Core Knowledge” link on the Avaya Certification Program landing page to learn more and register free-of-charge to take WestNet’s “Foundational Core Knowledge Assessment”. Scheduling an Exam at Pearson VUE Test Centers Pearson VUE Authorized Test Centers represent a network of Pearson VUE independent business partners primarily in the commercial and academic market spaces. Availability of testing centers varies by city/state/geographic region based upon business partner participation in the Pearson VUE testing program. As independent business partners, Pearson VUE Test Centers establish their own hours of operation and testing seat capacity. Reservations are accepted on a first come / first serve basis independent of the vendor exam chosen. Test Center, Online or Pearson VUE Call Center reservations all work from the same inventory of available testing sessions. Contacting a Pearson VUE Test Center can provide candidates with the best understanding of what parameters drive a Center’s days / hours of operation; this can be particularly helpful for Testing Centers associated with academic institutions. Pearson VUE encourages candidates to book testing sessions well in advance (2+ months) to help ensure individual requirements can be met. Candidate demand often fluctuates. Visit the Pearson VUE website at www.pearsonvue.com/avayato see currently available Avaya exams, regional exam pricing and register for a testing session.
