Tarun,

Total cost and time you can best calculate yourself, I guess.

The needed training courses are on the website together with their prices
deduct: discounts (if applicable), for you the special Capgemini 'BMC
Partner' discount
add: travel, expenses on hotels + dinner etc

I suggest it is best to not go in there blank and follow all training in one
month's time but first do like Admin 1 and 2, then get some real-life
experience, then go back in the classroom for #3, after some more months of
experience do Performance Tuning  Troubleshooting, etc.

I guess it will be realistic to have the RAC about one year after you've
started working with AR System, provided that you are actually working and
developing with the system in the mean time.
Basic knowledge required: just general IT education; there is no pre-req for
special Windows or Unix training.

I took two courses every year, which also made the total expense on the
training acceptable for my employer.
Please bear in mind that RAC does not learn you ANYTHING about ITSM
applications or Atrium CMDB; you have to take additional courses for that
and/or find out for yourself...

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Let me try this again...

Below is a link to the RSP page on Remedy's website. If the link doesn't
work, check to make sure that it is all on one line; you may need to
copy/paste both lines. It ends with '.html'

http://www.bmc.com/education/servicemgmt/Roadmaps/Remedy_Skilled_Profess
ional.html

The RAC page is not public, and I'm not a partner, so I cannot give you
any details on it. 

For the RSP, you can purchase everything as a bundle, I believe, and
save money. The link above will show you the required classes.

Re: Price and duration for Remedy RSP and RAC certification?

2007-08-27 Thread Carey Matthew Black
Tarun,

The duration is for the version that you are trained on. (With an
upgraded path from version to version by taking another class.)
Given that BMC is cranking out a new version a year (or about that
fast) and that they only support Current +2(previous current
versions) That means that for a version N training you can expect
about a three year cycle before it is of no interest to most of the
customer base. (And some customers will want N+1 trained people the
day after the software is shipped too.) So one to three years is a
good estimate if you take no further training. But if you plan on one
class a year, then you can keep up with the version release and stay
current from then on.

Cost will very quite a bit, so call up the trainers and see if you can
strike a deal. Note that some partners offer some of the classes for
RSP certification, but I do not know of any who offer all of the
classes.


As far as knowledge requirements

I was once lead to believe that there is an internal must pass
ratio for the classes and the certifications. So to some extent, the
real limit is based on the other people that you are in the class
with. If you know more about ARS than them, then you likely will be
certified. If you have even the most basic programming skills then ARS
is forgiving enough, and easy enough to pickup. ( Do you understand a
If..Then.. Else construct? [Note:Very similar to the previous sentence
in this paragraph, or the one coming up next too. :]  If so then you
know all of the basics for the Admin 2, and maybe Admin 3 class IMHO.)

However, putting that idea aside for the moment If your a quick
learner, and have some very basic programming experience, then I would
expect that you could walk in to the first class without ever having
seen ARS, then sit through all of the classes (back to back if you can
get them scheduled that way) and likely pass the RSP test at the end.
( I think a 70 was a passing grade, but I suspect that some have
passed with much less than that from time to time.)


However if your motivation is to really understand what your doing,
then I would think that what Michiel suggested is a better approach to
the process than a boot camp approach to the certification. There
are very few classes that even come close to teaching you like real
world experience can. I would focus on building from scratch, and then
trying to figure out what someone else built from scratch. When you
master those skills, then there is nothing you can not do within the
boundary of this system.

HTH.
