At the higher levels, I think a combined Q&A and lab is the only way to go. The success of lab exam certifications over Q&A only is clear. Costly though. I know that's been discussed. GIAC had a great alternative to a lab exam going with their required practical assignments until they dropped the practical (quantity over quality I suppose...). While that was a good fit for security, it's not really feasible for BSD. It'd be nice to find something similar that would be less costly to offer, yet still provide reasonable assurance of a certain level of competence. Easier said than done though. Thanks to those who have taken up this initiative! -Chris _______________________________________________ BSDCert mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nycbug.org/mailman/listinfo/bsdcert
