I noticed recently at BrainBrench a free certification about Ajax. I decided to pass it this week and got 3.95/5, even that I missed to answer many questions while on phone, or talking with people in my office – I Scored higher than 96% of all previous test takers, which is great, but weak in security and communication, while it’s more my Strengths points. Anyway, that’s what this certification is all about, a series of 40 questions that you have to answer, and you have 3 minutes for each question. Most important that you have to prepare yourself seriously to get a higher score.
First is it interesting to have an Ajax certification in your CV ? Or a more general JavaScript certification ? I personally passed the certification and I don’t think that according to the questions that I have answered, I am qualified to create Ajax enabled web applications. The certification mean that you have the necessary knowledge to create Ajax applications, so it could be good only if you add to your CV some Ajax projects that you have already created. From the website description :
The AJAX test measures knowledge and skills needed to develop web pages using AJAX. Designed for use by web developers, programmers and other IT professionals for whom this knowledge is necessary to perform their job.
Brainbench is ISO 9001-2000, so even if it’s free, I think the certification will have a good value in your CV – for Ajax developers. The same for employers looking for Ajax professionals, a certification will have an additional value to find qualified people for their companies.
