RE: MI MapInfo Certification / Exam
I'm beginning to wonder if its a UK-only program. As MapInfo partners, we were informed directly of the program (from the UK Windsor office).

RE: MI MapInfo Certification / Exam
Hello Richard, The MapInfo Professional Accreditation exam is a partner competency test and I don't think it's available to end users. I don't know if it's UK specific. To be honest, I found it a bit archaic anyway with ambiguous questions, a slightly illogical scoring system and flexible exam time. The exam was said to be put together based on the technical support query database.

Re: MI MapInfo Certification / Exam
Your description reminds me of the "test" you can take on MapInfo's web site, to see what level of training you should take first. I found many of the questions/terms to be misleading. Take a look at the "Training Quiz" yourself, at http://testdrive.mapinfo.com/inetbu/survey.nsf/TrainingSurvey?openform .

It seemed okay to me. It is picky about using precise terminology, but that's as it should be. That does make it tough if you are fuzzy on terms like geocoding vs geo-refrencing and so on. You also have to watch out for some questions as there is more than one right answer (but the right answer might the one that names the other choices.) I bet if we all tried we could make up a really diabolical test that even MapInfo tech support couldn't pass! ;-) - Bill Thoen GISnet, 1401 Walnut St., Suite C, Boulder, CO 80302 tel: 303-786-9961, fax: 303-443-4856 mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED], http://www.ctmap.com/gisnet -- To unsubscribe from this list, send e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put "unsubscribe MAPINFO-L" in the message body, or contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Re: MI MapInfo Certification / Exam
Bill, We may well be able to create the diabolical MI test. For years we've stumped MI developers with "tests" of improved functionality. I'm a little out of date on the wish list but where's the "not in" query, just for example? or the "switch selections" a la AV? I promise to contribute a devil of a question in the "Intermediate Mapper" category, if we can get others to join in.
