John,

Yes. I took the exam (still beta at that time) November 26, in Berlin,
Germany.

The V.U.E. registration website sucks, and I reported this to the people
in charge of the certification at MySQL AB. When I tried to register, I
got similar responses like you. The responses said things like "not yet
available", "not available between 0:00 and 24:00 h", "not available
before December 30th" etc. Whatever I filled in looking for a test
centre in Berlin yielded no positive result. I find this _very_
unprofessional.

So, finally I decided to try it the good old way - by telephone. A mere
10 minutes later I had a date for the exam the following week.

What the V.U.E. person on the phone told me is nearly unbelievable. She
said that some test centers do not want their exams to be listed on the
web site, or they do not want their possible exam times to be published.
Maybe it's true that they do not want to earn money, but I cannot
believe that at all.

Sad but true: All I can suggest is, go to
http://www.vue.com/contact/mysql/, find out the telephone number and
give them a call. At least it's toll free :)
