Oracle increases certification testing fees

In Mauritius its one of the most common practises to take the ceritification of majore softwares, you will hear the things right from Microsoft, Oracle, Java, Sun, Cisco, Mysql, PHP and what not.  There is surely a sad news for all those who wish to take up the exams in future. Voila the prices of the exams are going almost doubled. I know you must be thinking whats my problem my company is going to pay. Well company will not be paying all the time or if you are going to repeat hien.

Oracle made significant increases this week in the cost of technical certification exams for Sun and Oracle technologies.

A full accounting of the fee changes was not immediately available, but one of our sources say the cost of a MySQL Certified Associate exam had more than doubled under the new pricing.

“It is in my opinion TOTALLY UNREASONABLE this is not treated as an (entry level) unproctored exam.

“I think it falls under the category of ‘that sucks … oh well,’ since certs are optional, employers often pay for them, you usually only take the test once and thus it’s a one-time fee (that you may choose to repeat two years later to keep your cert up to date), it kind of falls under the realm of the optional, rare expense,” .

The new fee structure represents “the first material exam price increase that Oracle has made since the inception of its program,” according to an official blog post. “Prices may vary from country to country so please sure to check the links below or with your local site for details.”

Both Internet-based exams and proctored ones conducted at testing centers are affected.

Under the new price schedule, “all non-proctored exams worldwide; proctored Sun exams for emerging-market countries and Oracle Database, Middleware and Linux exams for emerging-market countries” cost US$125.

In addition, proctored Oracle exams in developed nations and Oracle application exams in countries designated as emerging markets are priced at $195. Proctored Sun tests will cost $300 in developed countries.

Oracle’s blog post stressed that prices will vary due to local currency and urged users to users to test administrator Pearson VUE’s Web site for specific details.

Test vouchers purchased prior to the price changes, which went into effect Monday, remain valid. Discount vouchers will be honored at the same discount rate, but applied against the new pricing.

Those who signed up and submitted payment for a test before Mar. 1 will not be required to pay more money as long as they maintain their original exam date.

An Oracle spokeswoman did not respond to a request for additional information.

Meanwhile, over time Oracle intends to “migrate and offer Sun certification offerings to Oracle certification offerings,” but for now existing Sun certifications will be recognized, the company said on feb22nd.

“Future certification offerings may require candidates to take an exam if they wish to upgrade,” .

Unitech2010 – It was super sick

Are we actually ready for all these gimmick here in Mauritius. You guys must be reading or following this site for many years by now and we always gave the ideas and prospects of the nation from a global perspective and really as we always said, people out here are so stupid and immature.  We quatre-bornes.com team were very much exited to know whats happening around, mostly to write something in our website.

unitech WHAT WAS UNITECH all about?
We didn’t get any idea what on earth was it for? We saw some IT companies – ” Who proclaim they are the leaders and well established international firm or truely and proudly mauritian company” which to our truth they are bunch of cartoons who work for those companies, who to the mere standards don’t understand and talk of any future technology.

All we could hear is please fill your form,  Oh! you are very much qualified, please send us your CV and our executive will reach you. Damn that was so silly, Couple of us we did try filling the form to see who actually respond and we had some softcopies on our pen drives, but no computers around. We noticed some girls playing solitiere, lucky world we tell ya.

OUR FIRST IMPRESSION
We just wanted to come back very first minute, and to tell the truth, the local market place looks more decent than that. We have literally seen people playing movies on UNITECH2010. God for the heaven sake companies please try to send some people who have literally some common sense. We surely do understand common sense is not that common in mauritius, even atleast try to act as if you are having some.  Practically we were thinking that with some experience in the hands for past years they would move bit forward atleast this year, but we surely came to the conclusion that – “We can decorate a shit will all possible thing – but it would remain a shit” . That was UNITECH.

Practically the place was all dead, some of them sitting on the tables and having dholl puri and roti, nothing much to do might be. We walked almost every stall possible and most of them as usual bothered to talk about the services they offer, but they were talking real real shitty.

We noticed one part of the area, whereby some gaming was on so could notice couple of them watching ppl play. So be it  as a informative side of the coin, It was all crap to the core.  To our surprise Accenture, who were suppose to be the leading software  and one of the main sponsor of the UNITECH 2010 had the most horrible contribution of the event.  Are you wondering why? 

That place didn’t have a basic standard – even though its a university campus, well even its a park you can put some standards – But they didn’t

Heat was literally making almost everyone uncomfortable, people were fanning with the brochures rather than reading at them, atleast its used for some task.

People playing movies so loud in there, damn for next event like this, why would you want to waste your money going to a theatre, just buy a popcorn and go sit there. You will be able to see all sorts of movies, English, French, Hindi might be you can offer your DVD for you to see, Horrible immature KIDOS from university and of from the UNITECH FARE.
