Presented by Phil Sweeney, MinIO certification engineer, this webinar covers what to expect from the MinIO Certified Administrator Practitioner exam and how to build the skills needed to pass it. The exam is 60 scenario-based questions in 90 minutes, administered by Prometric, across 12 core AIStor administration topics including encryption, erasure coding, lifecycle management, replication, retention, and security. The session explains why spaced, repetitive, hands-on lab practice builds the procedural memory that holds up under exam conditions, and why the MinIO Academy Enterprise Administration course, not the single-node quick starts, is the right preparation path. It also covers how to use AIStor documentation alongside labs, what the Prometric delivery process requires, and how results, per-topic breakdowns, and digital badges are delivered after the exam.

The $700 MinIO Academy learning subscription includes a renewable enterprise trial license, MinIO Academy support, all MinIO training courses, and a free exam voucher, making it the lowest-cost and most complete path to the $300 Prometric exam.
Exam questions are scenario-based and cover purposeful real-world administration tasks across 12 core topics; MinIO explicitly avoids trick questions, obscure options, and memorization-focused content.
The AIStor Free license is limited to single-node deployments, which is insufficient for practicing multi-node topics like replication, site management, and erasure coding; the enterprise trial license available through MinIO Academy is required for full exam preparation.
Infrastructure administrators, storage engineers, and IT professionals preparing to sit the MinIO Certified Administrator Practitioner exam, as well as team leads evaluating whether MinIO Academy training is the right investment for their certification goals.
