And if they are what level they are doing it? (He didnt know abt alsactl and increase the PCM level..)
No offense to any of those getting this certifications , but these have become similar to MCSE or CCNA. Here is my experiance with certifiation In early 1990's when I asked a job asirant few basic commands is DOS he just put a Blank face when I asked waht do copy, format and DIR commands he said the Institute did not teach them thoucgh there was section of introduction to DOS/ And again early 2000 by then windows had established itself I repeated the same question and asked him to perform them on a command prompt he put a blank face again and sad he knows only to drag and drop, so I have him him the desktop which I had customized he said he has never used this WINDOWS at all the bottom line is most institutes have same altitude /approach just browse the course ware and let the poor student who paid through his nose to fend for himself. It is 2006 and the scene is no different be WINDOWS/ Linux or any professional courses they take students for granted only a minority of them by their own effort and desire to explore beyond the courseware do they gain exposure/experience of the subject in question I appreciate Suman for his suggestion of having talk on Certification it will give the audience /members an insight of what is there and how to exploit them to ones advantage. I agree that it should not be sales pitch After the talk by the institute let there be a short session where members who went through the certification give their experience/feedback.
