RE: [U2] IBM Course U2125 in Australia/NZ? {Unclassified}
I have had contact with IBM Education, and they are interested in running a class, suggesting March. Because of Mike's budgetary constraints, July seems the best time. So I bounced that back to them, and am awaiting developments. Location is to be Auckland. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/

Kevin King with Precision Solutions (a member of our list) is awesome at
customizable U2 courses that are available on line. He can be reached
at www.precisonline.com. I took one course so far and plan on doing
more. If anyone would like to contact me off the list for a reference
for the company, I would be happy to oblige.

RE: [U2] IBM Course U2125 in Australia/NZ? {Unclassified}
Leslie, Jon and others,
Thank you all for these and other suggestions for alternatives to the
'official' IBM training course delivery. I am sure they are all very
valuable. I may even take advantage of some of them, as I have of others
in the past.
However, I have at this moment a specific need, which is
*** to deliver training to my staff which will ***
*** enable them to achieve IBM Certification. ***
If they were to learn anything useful as part of this, that would be an
additional bonus.
You may think this is a strange attitude, and it is from some points of
view.
BUT
My staff members' salary advancement prospects, and in the not so long
term their employability, depends on their certification. In our
UniVerse world, no ISCE == no job, in our MS world, no MCSD == no job,
in our SAP support world, no {SAP Certification} == no job.
This is a Policy, not a preference, it is written into Job Descriptions.
And that is why, after nearly 35 years in IT, I last year achieved my
own very first vendor certification.
Mike Henderson, IBM Certified Solutions Expert

Getting certified is simply a matter of taking the exam. No prerequisite
training is required.

As noted, you do NOT need to undertake official IBM classes to become certified. It is based wholly and solely upon getting a pass mark in the certification exam. --- u2-users mailing list u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org To unsubscribe please visit http://listserver.u2ug.org/
RE: [U2] IBM Course U2125 in Australia/NZ? {Unclassified}
Thanks, Ray
Training Choice don't appear to have a presence in NZ, they sub-contract
to Ace Training, who regularly advertise IBM training courses - in
Tivoli, Notes, Domino, etc, but never any U2. :-(
They have said in the past that UV903 (now superceded by U2125 I
suppose) could run in Wellington or Auckland if they had four people.
Looks like the other poster and I might be able to manage that between
us, so we may be seeing you as the instructor?

The schedule for New Zealand

It's no consolation that their schedules for Sydney and
