- Registration
- The certification data sheet instructs candidates to register for this certification in The Learning Center to make progress visible in learner transcripts and HPE learning systems; retain that certification-tracking instruction. For the examination itself, use an HPE profile and the HPE credential management platform, then Pearson VUE to reserve a testing-center or OnVUE proctored appointment.

They do not establish a waiver of the distinct certification-tracking step. No institution-only seat restriction is stated for this HPE6 examination.
