Topic: HP Certification Helpful tips

To register for a Hewlett Packard exam you will need the following information:

    * HP Learner ID or Employee ID
    * Prometric ID (New users will be assigned a Prometric ID when completing the new user registration process).
    * Test name and series ID# (HPX-xxx)
    * Method of payment

What is an HP Learner ID?
An HP Learner ID is a unique ID number assigned personally to you. This number is associated with your training and certification history.

All valid HP Learner IDs should begin with a “UV” or a “PL” prefix, followed by a series of numbers (Examples: PL70208823 or UV00123456789)

If you have a previous learning history with HP and held an ID, your previous ID likely has been automatically transitioned to an HP Learner ID (by the addition of the prefix “UV”). If your ID is only numbers with no letter prefix, you must add the prefix “UV” before the numbers to update it to a valid HP Learner ID.
