Hello,
I did like to know what you think about the postgresql certifications
provided for
PostgreSQL CE
http://www.sraoss.co.jp/postgresql-ce/news_en.html
CertFirst
http://www.certfirst.com/postgreSql.htm
My question is about the validate of this certification for the clients.
Make difference to be certified?
IMHO, the SRA certification has been around for awhile, and I believe
it has some credibility in Japan...While I'm not sure what its
credibility is like here in the US - the fact that it has credibility
in Japan is a big plus .
The CertFirst certification (examsonline.com), seems to be
administered online (as opposed to SRA's which is at a PearsonVUE test
center) - which basically means that it's open book, open note, call
your friend, copy the questions, etc. It also seems that CertFirst
runs the certification themselves under what appears to be a shell
company called "examsonline". It looks to be more of a marketing ploy
than anything else....
Correction...I just checked and it looks like they've updated their web
site and no longer refer to the examsonline online exam...so I'm not
sure where/what their exam entails now. Their site used to refer to an
exam through examsonline.com ... You'll have to contact them for details...
Based on the fact that they are a provider of training under the WIA
act in IL, I'd suspect that they need a certification so that they can
sell their programs to the unemployed folks that are getting free
training on the gov'ts dime.
thanks for advanced.
Ivo Nascimento.
