Initial by examination
Dell Cloud Infrastructure Design
Knowledge And Skills
Have a sufficient knowledgebase/skill set through hands-on product experience and/or by consuming the recommended training; the named course is recommended, not a separately required examination.
Recognition
The Program Office must acknowledge that all required exams and other credential requirements have been met. Provisional computer scores become final only after statistical/security analysis.
Registration
Pearson account and acceptance of the candidate agreement are required to schedule; the Dell journey directs candidates to request a digital exam voucher and schedule using its code. Actual appointments depend on available Pearson test-center or OnVUE seats; no reserved seat or unconditional availability throughout the requested future window is claimed.
Version Applicability
The official requirement document identifies D-CI-DS-23 on every page and requires the Dell Cloud Infrastructure Design exam. The current Dell certification catalogue directly links this award to exam=D-CI-DS-23, and the live examination page corroborates its current identity, English availability, registration journey and identical domain scope. Dates in content-as-of notes are not treated as credential or route commencement dates.
