Blackberry releases new exams a lot

I find it hard at times to keep up with the amount of exams Blackberry has released for their certification tracks.

In all fairness, they have taken a bit of a beating from the iPhone so I think they are stressing the importance of the Blackberry Enterprise Server in the Enterprise and being a certified administrator or a certified developer (or heck, both), has a lot importance now.

Here are a few new exams that they are offering.

Of course, if you are interested in writing questions for these certification exams, please do not hesitate to contact us.

LOT-953: IBM Lotus Notes Domino 8.5 Application Development Intermediate Skills exam released

On August 26th, IBM released this new certification exam for Lotus Notes users.

It’s one of the three tests required when taking Path 2 to Lotus Notes and Domino 8.5 certification, and the third test has not been released yet.

All Available Lotus Certification Practice Tests are available to ensure you pass any Lotus Certification exam after careful studying.

As a certification, this exam assures that the test-taker has a

deeper understanding of architectural concepts, and the use of more complex functions and features, including Xpages.

The IBM website offers details, objectives, suggested training and sample tests for this exam, which holds 78 questions and allows an hour and a half (90 minutes) in which the test can be taken.

There are authorized testing centers around the world, via Prometric.

When considering the kind of database expertise required to understand this exam, and the objectives of the course as a whole, one can look at the summarized objectives for application architecture: connecting to enterprise data, connecting to internal data (internal to notes and the same server), creating mail-enabled forms, creating mail-in databases, creating/modifying/troubleshooting forms, designing applications which incorporate OLE objects, and understanding the purpose and features of both databases and Xpages (including various nuances in this area) are all some of the things test-takers will be certified in once they complete the exam - but that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

Further parts of the exam show how to manage workflow and security, as well as how to incorporate design elements into your programming (and troubleshoot both).

Check out IBM’s website for further details about this exam.
