Re: RPG IV Certification

Don,

Even if it is ONE factor, then it exists. Ergo...

I have seen this in the System i space. I attended 2 1-day classes on a
weekend prior to an IBM conference - these were specifically designed to
prepare me for 2 different certifications. And then, while I was at the
conference, I sat, and passed, the certification. The one I passed was the
one where I had enough experience to add value to the preparation class I
did.

Need glasses?
