The only Splunk Certifications available are Power User, Admin and Architect. If you are a Splunk Partner, there are additional certs.
The bottom of this page has certs listed.

See https://www.splunk.com/view/SP-CAAAJDH for details. If you already have PU and Admin you should have the bulk of trainings required for Architect already.

i would contact certification@splunk.com if you believe that you have adequate enough experience to compensate for the architect courses. you can ask them to forego the courses and sit for the exam, but there are no guarantees.

If you have the Admin cert but didn't do the Admin training, take whatever route you took to get that approved again 🙂

Sorry to bump a question well answered a while ago. I stumbled across it while searching for something else.

The answer to this question has changed and there is now an ITSI Certificate available.

More info can be found here:

Thought I should update this question in case someone else stumbles across it and wants to know about ITSI certification.

@michaeljorgensen is indeed correct, things have changed since 2017. ( @cmerriman's answer was correct at that time.)

As of this writing, there are two different ITSI courses available - and there's an ITSI certification path as well.

Details on the requirements are here: https://www.splunk.com/en_us/training/certification-track/splunk-itsi-certified-admin.html
