Starting on Thursday, December 10th, Symantec Education is seeking candidates to take our new Symantec Certified Specialist (SCS) beta exam for the Administration of IT Management Suite 7.6. Beta exams are crucial in the development process of new certification exams. Beta exams provide the data necessary for Symantec Education to select the best performing items so that we can build a valid, reliable, and fair certification exam.
Symantec Certified Specialist (SCS) exams cover core elements measuring technical knowledge and competency needed to efficiently deploy, configure, utilize, troubleshoot and optimize Symantec solutions.
