yes i completely agree with Chris!! Even then the integrity of the testing centers and people who conduct the lab tests is very important. I think atleast in the begining it won't be possible to have a careful monitoring of the situation. For example if an institute provides BSD training and it the same institute has a BSD testing centre then the pressure that students of the Institute should pass the Certification can cause them to adopt teaching just capsules of Practical lab questions and not going into the details of technology. kind regards Siju _______________________________________________ BSDCert mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/bsdcert
