A note on how big a deal the CISCO cert is. A friend of mine worked for CISCO and after studying for months for the cert he informed me that once he passed, his salary would nearly double.

I used to work full time as a trainer giving courses covering Novell, Microsoft, Macromedia, Allaire and Lotus Notes products. A lot of the courses were designed with a certification in mind and as a trainer I spent a good deal of time answering questions on what was likely to come up on the exam. The one major exception to this was the CISCO certification. I can't speak from personal experience, because I never took the exams, but one of my colleagues went through the process to get the CCIE certification and by all accounts it was impossible to pass without really knowing *and* understanding just about everthing related to the topic matter. The exam itself was a 4 hour "lab" where you had to troubleshoot a set of CISCO hardware that had been carefully misconfigured by the examiner. Now that's the sort of certification that I would trust if someone was to offer an equivalent for developers. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:238945 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
