NEW DELHI, INDIA: EMC has launched the new EMC Academic Associate recognition that would validate skills of EMC Academic Alliance (EAA) students in the high demand areas of Information Storage Management and Cloud Computing.

To achieve EMC Academic Associate recognition, students will have to take a highly technical online test, which is at zero cost. The globally standardized test provides objective validation to the EMC Academic Associate of his/her knowledge.

The EMC Academic Associate recognition would also enable the students to join a large and diverse EMC technical community, where they can network, seek and give advice, and learn more through online forums such as the EMC Proven Professional community. The recognition can be promoted by students through the use of Academic Associate logo and credential on resumes, email signatures, and in social media.

The test for students are created by EMC technical subject matter experts who have developed EMC's ‘open' curriculum, ensuring strict alignment to the course materials and strong relevance in the industry.
