Grandfathered

Just received my first Advanced certificate for Notes Domino 7. If you have already recertified for release 7 from an Advanced Professional level, then check out the elective exams. I happen to have 513 and 623, so I am grandfathered for advanced level certification both as admin and developer. Nice.

I don't understand, why the Java Script Test grandfather certified people to advanced Level and the Java Test doesn’t :-/
I hope that is a mistake and IBM will update this.

I missed the boat in updating my PCLPs in R4 and R5 to ND6.x. Whoops. I guess one day I should take all the ND6.x exams from scratch... :-/

Excellent! I took the 623 exam before, so I'm good. I, too, received my cert for 7.0 recently, but I didn't notice if it said 'Advanced'. I guess I should look more closely.

I'm also looking forward to that Sametime exam. They haven't updated that one since 3.0. Now if they'd just do the same for QuickPlace.

Congrats ! It is a good feeling to get it done, isn't it. Can I pass on my #1 tip for getting certified? (You can tell me whether or not it resonates with your own experience.)

Pick a date, and register for the exam.

I've found that most people who are 85% ready to take a test (maybe they have a strong background, taken classes, or just studied hard) procrastinate until the idea of certification falls out of their schedule. However, once someone has plunked down $100 and committed to an exam date--well, the brain does a wonderful job of motivating and nagging to ensure that the $100 wasn't just thrown away.

Yesterday I received the second Advanced cert per eMail, me too got grandfathered for Advanced for both, Admin and Developer ...... :-)

For any of you that have not yet upgraded, this grandfathering will continue, as soon as you take your upgrade exam and have had a "compatible" elective in the past, you should be upgraded to advanced immediately.

My congratulations! Let's see how many I will get...

Hi George ....

Somebody, which has the same 4 last characters as I have ........ :-)

@Greg: In my case, it took two months until the e-mail with the Advanced certificate arrived. The "un-"advanced ;-) came within 24 hours.

@Gerald - yup, I'm at work now and just peeked through my pile of certificates. I'm certified advanced/principal admin in R5 and D6/6.5, but still not-so-advanced in D7. I shall wait.
