Eligibility and Target Audience

The Genesys Certified Professional (GCP) program is open to current Genesys customers, partners and
employees only. Passing the exam is only one part of the certification process. Genesys will need to
verify that you are eligible for Genesys Certification before we can issue you a certificate and recognize
your status as a Genesys Certified Professional. If you have any questions regarding your eligibility,
please contact your local Genesys University training center.

The GCP8-CSIP certification exam is based on the Genesys SIP 8.0X training curriculum and the tasks
that a SIP 8 System Consultant performs for SIP 8 Installation and Configuration. This certification
validates the candidate's comprehensive understanding of the Genesys SIP Server solution components
related to architecture, deployment models, configuration and installation, basic usage, call flows of
Genesys SIP Server, and Genesys Media Manager, and monitoring a Genesys SIP Server solution.

Target Audience
System Consultants who perform as system administrators, solution integrators, and any other technical
role involved in planning, installation, configuration, monitoring and maintenance of Genesys SIP Server
solutions.

Preparing for the Exam

Genesys University highly recommends that candidates seeking certification follow the certification
preparatory track. The preparatory track, coupled with hands-on experience will increase the probability of
passing the exam. You are not required, however, to complete the training courses prior to taking the
certification exam. If you feel you have considerable, real-world experience using Genesys SIP Server
and/or Genesys Stream Manager products, then you may register and take the exam at any time.
In either case, Genesys University encourages you to review the materials described in this study guide
to help you prepare for the GCP8 – CSIP exam.
