[Asterisk-Users] dCAp

[William Boehlke]

We train ten to fifteen people every month in our three day course, and
tried offering the exam for a while. 

The practical exam is pretty easy. The written exam, in our opinion, is too
hard and not very relevant to the life of an Asterisk expert.

Our take is, wait until the exam is revised so that it's a more useful test
of skill.

I second this..  I have been working with asterisk for over a year now
and when I took it at astricon 2005 it was very challenging.  Put it
this way Mark Spencer failed the test.  Its not something you want to
walk into blind.  The hands on portion is cake.  However the the written
exam is very challenging.  Like BJ Said.  You need to be well rounded in
asterisk.
