Information about this exam can be found here: http://mylearn.emc.com/portals/home/mL.cfm?actionID=475

Click the E20-495 Exam Description link in the Exam Details box on the right of the page. We suggest that you read through the exam description and consider your level of knowledge for each of the topics. The certification exam is built around that description so you will become aware of all the topics that are covered on the exam.

Then, you might want to try the practice exam, which is also accessible in the Exam Details box. That will provide you with an opportunity to assess your readiness for the certification exam, and it will provide detailed feedback about areas that you may want to study further. It's important that you only take the practice test once to make the best use of this resource. Repeating it will eventually get you a better score as you 'guess' answers, but the goal is to determine if you know the topics that are covered in the 'real' exam. Passing the practice exam doesn't guarantee that you will pass the certification exam, but it's one free resource that you can use to prepare.

The courses that you can purchase to prepare for this exam are listed on the exam page. Our courses are often available in a variety of formats (classroom, eLearning etc.) so you can choose the option that is best for you. Information Intelligence Group Education Services recommends participation in the xCP Advanced course (available in both classroom and live online formats) prior to sitting the exam.

Please feel free to contact Amy Pickard, Certification Program Manager for EMC's Information Intelligence Group, with any questions about this certification.

Good luck on the exam!
