Re: IBM i certification

[DrFranken <midrange@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Currently no.

I believe that all the tests not required for IBM Business Partner 
qualification are no longer being updated by IBM. Many are already 
sunset and others such as this one are getting very long in the tooth!

Several of them have been transferred to COMMON including the RPG tests 
for example. Others were not accepted due to the cost required to update 
a test like this. It's truly 'way more money' than most folks could 
imagine.  Part of this is because it must be defensible in court should 
someone sue because they lost out on a job after failing to pass a 
certification for example.

I wish COMMON could take them all and keep them current, sadly they cannot.
