That isn't really a good MO though - there is no guarantee that the person with the qualification is a better coder - in fact I remember when we hired some developers for a project we found that the exam guys were all straight out of the book kinda guys and new little or nothing about the "real world".
Not to say anyone with one is bad - that is never the case but adding Certified Advanced ColdFusion Programmer after your name doesn't swing any kudos. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 22 July 2005 14:56 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: ColdFusion Exam > From: Robertson-Ravo, Neil (RX) > I personally don't like or rate these exams - they mean > nothing in the shadow of say a good MS qualification.

I can guarantee you this...if I'm hiring for a CF developer, and I have two developers who are about the same in experience, and whom both have good personalities from the interview, ever single time I'd hire the one with the certification over the one without. It proves that they care about their credentials, and that they took the time, and invested the money, to 'prove' that they could at least pass the exam. No, it doesn't prove how good of a programmer they will be, but it does set someone apart, and even in some cases, allows someone to command a bit higher rate than normal.
