2780.0. "Certification Program Info Request" by ICS::KAUFMANN (Life is short; pray hard) Tue Nov 16 1993 10:16

I am looking for contacts for the following certification program:

Digital Business Partner University Program
	o Sales Professional
	o System Sales Engineer
	o System Sales Consultant
	o Executive System Sales Consultants

Also, if anyone knows of any other Digital certification programs, could 
you post a response here?  (I am not looking for Novell, Microsoft, or any 
other third party certification programs, just Digital's programs.)

Thanks,
Bo

    Someone can correct me, but I believe that funding has been removed
    from the PATHWORKS certification program.  What this means (IMO), is
    that the existing certification program is still operational, but there
    are no plans to upgrade the tests to V5 or add an advanced
    certification program.

2780.6Drake testingANGLIN::PATCHENFri Nov 19 1993 15:364
    You can still contact Drake and take the test. Put I don't think
    that Digital is doing any tracking on who is certified.

2780.7currently there is NO certification programICS::BEANAttila the Hun was a LIBERAL!Tue Nov 23 1993 17:1226
    Several months ago I was invited to present a seminar on Pathworks 
    Certification in DECUS next month.  I, too, had enrolled via PWCERT and
    even took the DRAKE test months ago... I teach pathworks at Parker
    Street, and felt it would be nice to have a certification.  
    
    However, the certification program is NOT funded... there is nothing to
    say at DECUS, and in spite of a LOT of customer enthusiasm as well as
    internal enthusiasm, funding for ANY certification program is doubtful,
    though there are still a few folks working the issue.  Needless to say,
    the DECUS seminar was canecelled... about two weeks ago.
    
    There is a HUGH push within DEC to get its employees certified...
    Novell, Microsoft, Banyan, etc... but, evidently management does not
    perceive the need for Pathworks Certification... Actually, that's not
    true... it's just that no one of them is willing to foot the cost,
    since there is no *revenue* generated directly.
    
    It's right in line with removing all the PC's from the desks of the
    instructors who TEACH client/server stuff.  After all, we don't really
    NEED to be users, we just need to TALK about it.  And all those PC's
    were expensive... and we can make the bottom line look blacker by
    dumping them.
