I disagree with this lab idea, as much as I would like it as a technician. I think any lab testing would just run the pricing through the roof and make it hard to provide testing on smaller Linux events and fairs. Not to mention getting a trainer and be tested at a local LUG. (Did my LPIC-1 that way) I understand that some people make a living by selling training and exams, but that should not eliminate the possibility to study yourself and take an inexpensive test on a Linux event.

Not really. Obviously MS was selling _their_ product, not Cisco or other suppliers. Nevertheless, using a MS- or Novel-Server as a router/Switch in a SOHO environment was a common scenario in those times. Even with the sophisticated Routers and switches around, routing and bridging is still a subject to Linux. > We should have a look on our customer and have to ask what can we do, to > improve our value. I'm not sure if I qualify as a customer, but since I just passed 201 a few weeks ago and I'm currently working on 202 I might just give my 2 cents. I would vote for -more 'procedural' question (e.g. what sequence of tools/steps to use/take to archive a certain task) to probe the skill of the candidate and his understanding of the exam objectives and -less name, location and feature fu**ing which 'only' tests your ability to (short term) memorize details which might not be true anymore after the next major release of the according software packet. > Maybe have a look on business and employer too. > Because at the end we design good certificates for pros, which have to be > accepted from pros and from industry and provide a value for both sides. Then I guess one would need to talk to the heads of technical/support departments as they usually fire up the requests to HR and set the requirements for new employees.
