TopQore SCOM Certification Path Overview

TopQore has been doing in-house SCOM training at different levels for companies worldwide for years, and since 2021 we decided to create certification badges if you reach a certain level of training and pass the required tests.

What is needed for us to issue a badge?

A badge is issued to a person based on Name (First name, Last name), and their e-mail address. This is why we ask for this information upon registering a course or doing a required Exam.

We are using the “badgr” platform to issue badges which are conform to the OpenBadges standards. This means these conform to standards and can often be opened from another badges backpack you may have in another platform already.
