One of the key tenets of the dCAP program is that it has both a written and practical portion of the test. For the sake of those that might not be familiar with the dCAP exam, let me explain: The dCAP exam has two portions... the first of which is a ninety-minute written exam. The written exam contains approximately 115 multiple-choice questions that range from channel driver configuration to dialplan applications to telephony concepts and everything in between. While it is something that you could theoretically "cram" for, we wrote many of the questions with real-world applications in mind, and tried to address items that you'd learn through real-world experience and not just book learning. The second portion of the exam is a ninety-minute practical exam. The idea of the practical exam is to treat you as if we'd hired you as an Asterisk consultant, and see if you can compile Asterisk from source and build the required PBX features and settings within the allotted time. Again, this is a test of your real-world Asterisk skills, and having proctored the exam for the past several years, I can state unequivocally that no amount of studying cheat sheets is going to prepare you for the practical exam like hands-on experience with Asterisk can. If there are any other questions I can answer about the dCAP exam (without giving away all the answers to the test, obviously), let me know and I'd be happy to address them. -- Jared Smith Training Manager Digium, Inc. _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- AstriCon 2008 - September 22 - 25 Phoenix, Arizona Register Now: http://www.astricon.net asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
