How does one cerfify? There are three basic steps:
1. Understandcertification test objective.
2. Reviewstudy guides, online tutorials, or take an education course. Then test your knowledge by taking an assessment exam at www.ibm.com/software/data/education/cert/assessment.html. There assessments are offered through Prime/Prometric at low nominal fee of $10USD.
3. Registerand take the certification exam.
For more information on IBM Data Management skills programs please visit:
www.ibm.com/software/data/education.html.
Detailed information on the IBM Professional Certification program, including the DB2 Database certification exams, can be found at:
