  15. let me clarify the certification business for ya.. on Microsoft's 10-year-old Certified Professional · · Score: 0, Troll

    Certifications can be issued by:

    - accredited entities: universities, seminaries, etc.; keep in mind: not all 'universities' are accredited, so already there is a difference.

    these certificates are usually oriented at a
    mandatory curriculum that is defined for more
    than one entity, i.e. all accredited
    universities of one country. Mutual
    recognition or at least offer of remedy
    to achieve such, exists then between entity
    groups, e.g., all accredited universities
    of two countries, let's take for a real example
    a European 'diploma' and the requirements to
    achieve equivalence with either a U.S.
    bachelor's degree (downgrade) or a U.S.
    master's degree (upgrade).
    This is not limited to Universities, if you
    want to enter a European University with your
    High School diploma, you will need to take
    a year of extra math, local language, etc.

    Accredited, recognized entities can also be
    professional organizations who offer
    professional speciality certifications.
    Examples are CISSP, SME certifications,
    Pine Mountain group certifications
    (e.g. Certified Netanalyst), etc.

    The common ground of all these 'real' certifications is that they are independent and reach across boundaries of products, brands, nations, certifying the knowledge about and
    skill to use the foundation principles of
    the area they are relevant to, across different
    vendor products.

    Most of these certifications need longer study (i.e. to achieve a masters you need actually to have written significant scientific publications, aka 'papers'), or can only be achieved after having practiced a trade. Typically there is no 'one book' or 'one brochure' to study.

    - vendor 'certificates': typically they cover one brand (that vendor's ): Cisco 'certifications', Microsoft 'certifications', etc. Study one book and you get the title. The knowledge does cover exactly that vendor's product operation to any extent desired (from operation to deployment or programming). Vendors try to add also general
    topics, basic principles of the area the
    products are working in.
    But also: vendors introduce their agenda, or
    define 'best practices' in away as to avoid to
    expose insufficiencies in their products.
    Examples: Cisco OSPF topology recommendations
    are a pure result it the incapability of their
    routers to efficiently handle, say, 30,000 routes
    or more (Nortel passport, vector did at their
    time benchmark with 400,000 routes sets and a
    real OSPF area 0 on the backbone, not tucked
    away in some leaf network); Microsoft sports a
    4 layer network model, because of their unclean
    implementation of networking stacks, incapable of
    certain topologies and functions.
    This is no bashing, only rednecks and stupid
    ID 10 Ts will put it there. People who actually
    know what I talk about will agree.

    Typically, a vendor 'certification' can be obtained by studying that vendor's materials. Typically therer are crash couses offered, like 'Cisco certification in 9 days guaranteed', or 'Microsoft MCE in 5 days'.

    Now to this topic:

    a vendor 'certification' does not make a programmer.
    Microsoft certifications gear towards use and implementation of Microsoft products, with emphasis on GUI use (typical question is 'where is the button for clear type on/off', or questions related to features only found in a particular vendor's product, like, e.g. the useless IGRP protocols of Cisco which nobody un his normal state of mind would be using anyways).

    A vendor 'certification' can be achieved just by sitting down and studying some limited material.

    That's what this girl did. Sure, it shows way above average of reading comprehension, but not necessarily programming skills. Keep in mind (if you ever studied the materials (otherwise shut it), that Microsoft certifications do not teach anythng about internals, kernel programming, thread strategies, memory manageme
