Take your career to the next level
The identity security industry is expected to grow at an annual rate of 14.5% through 2028. To support this growth, the need for skilled professionals to develop, implement, and administrate identity security solutions is at an all-time high.
Our knowledge credentials & certifications can prepare you for a career switch, deepen your existing security experience, and set you apart from other professionals. SailPoint offers two ways to validate and recognize your skills.
Which path is right for you?
- SailPoint Knowledge Credentials provide the opportunity to gain new skills that can apply to your current role or to prepare you for a new project or job search. Credentials are earned by completing a training path and passing an unproctored exam. Successful candidates will earn a certificate citing their achievements and a shareable badge.
- SailPoint Certifications are role-based; that is, they validate your existing expertise. They require years of practical, hands-on experience as an identity security professional. While training is highly recommended to prepare for certification, courses alone will not sufficiently prepare a candidate for a SailPoint certification. Training must be complemented by skills learned on-the-job. Candidates must pass a proctored exam to become SailPoint certified.
