Are you pursuing the NCP-CI certification? Keep reading to find out 5 steps that will help you prepare.
Nutanix certifications are a great way to prove your knowledge, position yourself for advancement, and stand out in a competitive job market.
Our Nutanix Certified Professional - Cloud Integration (NCP-CI) certification measures your ability to successfully plan, deploy, configure, and manage NC2 within an Azure or AWS public cloud environment.
The Nutanix Cloud Integration track includes two exams that both earn you the same NCP-CI 6 certification. You can choose the exam based on the public cloud environment (AWS or Azure) you are most familiar with. You should not take both exams since the content will be very similar.
In this blog, we’ll focus on 5 steps you can take to prepare for each exam to help ensure your success.
