HP professionals to benefit from alternative training curriculum

Learning NewsQA

QA, the UK’s leading provider of training and consulting, announces the launch of a new integrated CompTIA-HP training programme for HP professionals.

In response to recent changes to HP certification, QA has developed an independent training programme to provide HP engineers with the expertise to effectively manage HP systems and technologies. QA’s programme will also prepare delegates for CompTIA and HP Certified Professional (HPCP) accreditation (formerly Compaq accreditation).

“QA is putting ‘hands on’ back into hardware training,” commented Jon Shepstone, Head of Operations at QA. “Our training programmes are designed to rapidly and effectively get engineers up to speed on core technologies, not simply provide them with the skills to market products”.

An integrated programme of CompTIA and HP training means QA delegates can attend a single course to prepare for the two examinations now required for HP engineer accreditation. This valuable validation of skills represents a significant cost-saving and reduced time away from the workplace.

“Joint HP-CompTIA certification provides real advantage as HP engineers benefit from both generic and technology-specific qualifications,” commented Matthew Poyiadgi, Regional Director UK & Scandinavia at CompTIA. “QA, with a history of excellence in training programme design and delivery, is helping companies get the most from their systems and people. “

IT professionals are no longer required to attend training from an authorised HP training centre in order to take official HP examinations. Delegates will take advantage of QA’s independent programme delivered by instructors with real-world experience in training centres throughout the UK and Ireland. Examinations can be taken at any of QA’s testing centres.

The QA-authored HP curriculum can be customised to address an organisation’s specific training requirements, ensuring maximum benefit from training investment.

QA’s HP certification curriculum:
-CompTIA Server+ incorporating HP Servers APS (5 days)
-CompTIA A+ incorporating HP Desktops APS (5 days)
-CompTIA Server+, HP Desktops APS and HP Servers APS Accelerator (5 days)
