I used to work for an outfit that insisted everyone was certified in everything. The qualifications (MCSE/MCSD, Novell and Notes stuff) meant nothing really as we had people who knew nothing at all about the products but who knew how to pass the exams (and did so with monotonous regularity!).

None of the exams I ever sat were really technical, they were marketing material instead.

My current employer sees no need for me to be certified as I prove my value by my results and I'm happier with this approach.

That said, I have no qualifications of any sort but am still considered to be good at my job by my peers. Isn't that better than any piece of paper?

Hey,

I just cleared exam 512 and now am working on exam 513.

BTW,

I am from New Delhi, india. I registered for the exam at STG, South Extension and the fee for the exam was only INR 2000. The fee for exam 513 is also INR 2000.

How about adding an option such as:

"I am now certified, but it is too soon to tell what effect it will have on my career".

hey all,

am cleared with my 513 DB2 DBA for Unix/Windows/Linux/OS2 exam as well. now lets what else remains on the checklist

hth,

Actually, I don't know if this certification is useful.
Im working as a DB2 engineer since last December.
Really Im a beginner on that (AS you know)
To acquire a certain Certification is different from work as db2 engineer at current workplace.

ONce acquire for that , u should practice DB2 much...

REALLY that is very important

In the last couple of weeks, I have seen a number of new members posting to this db2 forum ...

For their benefit, I have bought this thread again to the top ..
