EGMP and EAEP

[EvelynHsu]

What is the difference between EGMP19-001 and EGMP2201?

Also what is the difference between EAEP19-001 and EAEP2201?

There seems to be very slight differences in the skills required but how about certification validity? Are the 19-001 certification scheduled to retire soon?

Hi @EvelynHsu, great question. Detailed information on each of these exams can be found in their corresponding Exam Information Guides (click the Download Exam Information button).

The 2201 exams are newer, updated versions of the 19-001 exams, so I would personally recommend you take the 2201 exams. Whenever we update the exams again (likely in 2024, but no guarantees), the 19-001 versions will no longer be available to take; however, earned certifications won't go away. We try to always have two versions of each exam available at any given time.

Let me know if you have any further questions, and good luck on your certification journey!

Hello Katie,
a question about these two certificate versions: if a person has an "Enterprise Administration Professional 19-001" certificate to get the "Esri Enterprise Administration Professional 2201" certificate, does he have to take the whole certification exam again?

Thank you!

Hello @EvelynHsu, thank you for your question and a huge thanks to @KatieSmith for her great response! This is a question that is often asked and my view is that exam selection is an important part of your certification journey and it depends on the individual's goals. Here's article that outlines the 3-Steps to Selecting Your Esri Certification Exam, a guide to create a personalized approach to exam selection.

Thanks @JRosalesGIS and @KatieSmith for the explanation 🙂 looks like 2201 is the way to go
