Does this mean we will ignore (keep no record of) tests failed? I thinkI don't think I misread it. I have certifications for IRIX administration and other "UNIX" systems and they do not "expire" , "recommend recertification" or any other words you wish to use. If you want this to be a "trade" go ahead and treat it as such, I will not be involved and I think many more will not, but if you want to treat it as a profession then once an individual has the certification that's it. I don't think you want a program like CPR do you? That requires recertification to prove competence. Is that what you are after with this certification? Or are you demonstrating that an individual has mastered a subject? Those are both two very different certification approaches, what are you after? You can make the testing as tough as you want, I have no problem with that, but requiring recertification every two years or so just cheapens the whole process.
that's a good idea but I wanted to make sure I wasn't assuming. BTW, what's
our policy on retesting?What does EXPIRE mean? If we will not require certificate holders to
renew or recertify then I think it must mean marked as expired but
otherwise unchanged and retreivable by a background checker who visits the
LPI site . I would agree to that (I would use a different word than
expire like recommend recertification ). I take it that this
expiration would happen only after (at least) 2 years since the person
passed an exam? I think the complaints by Forrest and Kenneth are based in
part on misreadings of this so please clarify.
Enough said, you have my 2 cents, I will not bother to bring it up again.
I'll just wait and see what happens....
