Dell EMC Data Center Networking Credential exam

Hello, zhumankulov,

The DES-5221 exam that supports the Specialist – Implementation Engineer, Data Center Networking Version 1.0 certification, will retire on May 1, 2023. This exam will be replaced by the new DES-5222 exam aligning to the ‘Specialist – Implementation Engineer, PowerSwitch Data Center Version 2.0’ certification available as of January 20, 2023. This will include a revision of the Specialist-level credential version from 1.0 to 2.0.

The DES-5222 exam and certification cover the ability to perform intermediate skill level tasks in installing, configuring,
maintaining, and troubleshooting Dell Data Center Networking products, features and implementation.

How will this impact me?
If you have taken the Dell EMC PowerSwitch Data Center Implementation and Administration course
before 4/19/23, please plan to take the DES-5221 exam before May 1, 2023.
