RE: IBM i certification -- MIDRANGE-L

Rochester (a location) does not but Cognitive Systems (A division within
IBM) does. Many classes are taught at the Rochester location.

Does Rochester even have an education group anymore?

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qualification are no longer being updated by IBM.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.

Ok, in my signature line I proudly have my certification. But it's a
little dated. I noticed someone on LinkedIn with this
https://www-03.ibm.com/certify/cert.html?id=04010907
That's newer, however it says it's V1 and will be updated with V2, etc.
That, and it was last updated for:
"This version of the certification (C9010-030 IBM I Administration V1)
reflects IBM i features and capabilities incorporated up through IBM i
7.2
TR2 (i.e. Technology Refresh 2) and IBM i 7.1 TR10, available since
May 2015."

I'm looking for something a little newer. Is there such a beast?
