Cisco Mulls Adding Verbal Interview To CCIE Exams

Julie188 writes "Here's a new idea to stop certification test-taking cheaters; Cisco is considering introducing a verbal interview portion to its CCIE lab exams across the world. Cisco confirmed that it is running a pilot in its exam lab in Beijing, China that involves candidates taking a 10-minute verbal interview as part of their lab exam. Cisco said that if the pilot is successful, the interview could be introduced as a requirement for CCIE Routing & Switching candidates worldwide. The company has been running the pilot since August."

Re:What about other certs?

In re your first paragraph: I can only suppose you're a Christian. Would you actually be happier if they specifically invoked your lord Christ for the sole purpose of getting you to spend money on ... petty material frivolities? Seriously?

In re your second paragraph: The situation is not as symmetric as you make it seem. Hint: schools don't have solstice parties, and most students and faculty likely wouldn't even know what it was. That's just a strawman you pulled out of a hat.
