Our most Frequently Asked Question is “Which courses for each Splunk certification?”

At Ableversity we’re helping students learn Splunk in new and creative ways. Many of our students have already passed their Splunk User and Power User exams simply by taking our courses and studying the exam blueprints.

One of our most frequently asked questions is “Which courses do I take for each Splunk certification”. So to help answer that question, we’ve put the following roadmap together. If you’re one of our students who is interested in earning your Splunk Certifications, please should review this information before starting.

First lets start with the Splunk certification paths.

Splunk certifications are progressive in nature. You need your Splunk User and Splunk Power User certifications to unlock the Splunk Admin certification and this also unlocks the Splunk Power User certification. You’ll then need your Splunk Admin certification before you can get your Splunk Architect certification. Finally you’ll need your Splunk Architect certification before you can take your Splunk Consultant certification. Once you have your Splunk Consultant certification, you’ll be in high demand around the globe!

To help you get there, we’ve created the Ableversity Splunk Certification Path shown below:
