Splunk certification in Russia

[baklushinskii]

Hello. I've decided to start Splunk certification via PearsonVue. For starting it the Splunk ID is needed and it should be received on this page https://www.splunk.com/en_us/training/pearson-vue-registration-form.html

But there's not my country (Russia) in the registration form. Could you please tell me whether there’s still any possibility to get Splunk ID and make certification for person living in Russia?

Hi.

Thanks for your interest in our program. Yes, Splunk's decision to leave the Russian market also impacts our program. Candidates in countries with which Splunk does not do business are not able to register for a certification exam (online or in person).

IIRC, Splunk stopped doing business in Russia over a year ago.  Therefore, it's unlikely someone in Russia would be able to obtain a Splunk certification.  Contact [email protected] for more information.

Hi, richgalloway. I know that Splunk has left russian market and I have already contacted  [email protected] .  It has sent automatically generated reply with  certification rules. 

In my country there are people who work in foreign companies and might want to get certified. That's why this question is asked. Are there any possibilities to pass exams here (may be online)? Or the only opportunity is to pass exams abroad?

Being present in Russia probably is a disqualifying factor, but only the Certification team can say for sure.
