Individual Certifications
Each HDI Certification reflects the level of knowledge required for specific roles, ranging from Customer Service Representative to Support Center Director. HDI offers training that aids individuals in preparing for the certification exams while building their knowledge and developing skills based on the certification standards. The open standards can also be studied independent of any training, and will prepare individuals for the certification exam.
In addition to these role based certifications, HDI offers certification in KCS Principles and ITIL® 4 Foundation.
HDI Certification Exams and Practice Tests
All HDI Certification Exams are based solely on the HDI Certification Standards and not on the content in the HDI Courses.
HDI offers online Practice Tests to assist individuals who are preparing for a certification exam. Once you complete a practice test, a report is provided that lists the questions missed and what competency within the HDI Standard you should review. You may take multiple practice tests as tests are randomly generated from a pool of practice test questions.
All HDI Certification Exams and HDI Practice Tests are delivered through the HDI Learning Center.
Individual Certification Recognition
Upon successfully earning an HDI certification, the individual receives a printed certificate of certification, which can also be digitally downloaded from the HDI Learning Center.
