Hi Guys,

I was planning to sit in exam for Certified Enterprise Admin but on last minute realised that must do power user certification first. I have been studying on diff platforms but wanted to see if Splunk offers self-paced full certification courses or not, like Splunk core power user and Splunk enterprise system admin.

What ever I see on Splunk website for courses is not simple and straight forward to choose , it seems so much complicated to find the right full course (paid or free)

Please can someone show me a simple direct link to start with rather moving around on site .

Regards,

Azim

Here you have all certifications. Each cert page contains a link to PDF file with track flowchart, which lists all prerequisites (earlier certifications and - on higher certifiaction levels - mandatory trainings) as well as recommended trainings.

For the Splunk Entrprise Certified Admin it's this file - https://www.splunk.com/en_us/pdfs/training/splunk-enterprise-certified-admin-track.pdf

It lists the Power User cert as a prerequisite as well as two trainings as recommended (you can approach the exam without completing those trainings but it's worth attending them as the trainings generally cover the exam material).

Oh, and as I remember the admin-level courses are not self-paced. They are virtual classrooms.

It's no longer as simple as it used to be.  Gone are the days when one or two courses prepared you for an exam.  Now, it may take several courses to get the same material, but all of them are optional until you get to the Admin level.

You can find what material will be covered on the Power User exam at https://www.splunk.com/en_us/pdfs/training/splunk-core-certified-power-user-track.pdf and https://www.splunk.com/en_us/pdfs/training/splunk-test-blueprint-power-user.pdf then decide which courses you need to fill gaps in your knowledge.  See the courses available by certification level at https://www.splunk.com/en_us/training/course-catalog.html?sort=Newest&filters=filterGroup2SplunkCore...

This is not helping , all these links I have already checked. Every other company has simple and straight forward ways to do their certifications either self-paced or instructor-led but here on your platform it is very wired and difficult and this doesn't help at all.
