Mandatory prerequisites are stated separately from recommended experience: Use the active certification data card to confirm any ATP or modular prerequisite for the selected path. Candidates should use the active HPE Certification and Learning data card, complete the recommended training and labs, and confirm every exam identifier before registration. HPE is expanding modular curricula and badge exams, so a certification data card can show a proctored route, a modular route, or migration options.

HPE0, HPE6, and HPE7 exams are proctored through Pearson VUE test centers or OnVUE where available; HPE2 and HPE3 exams are timed web-based assessments; HPE1 and HPE4 are practical exams.
