Going for CTSA followed up w/ a B O L O G N A sandwich We used to have the very first person to get their "A" for LV and TS. We called her "The Architect-Supreme". But what really prompted me to reply was mention of BOLOGNA! I love Bologna so much that I am not disappointed when my wife does not cook. It gives me another excuse to eat BOLOGNA.

Nope CTA is definitvely not on my list. I don't even have Testatand installed. CPI is not on my list, too, because I have no ambition to lead courses. Quote Link to comment

Of course there is a difference! You have other questions to solve! OK, what really matters is that the recert exam is exactly the same exam that someone has to do who does his first CLA certification on the same day. There is no "short version" ro the recert people. I had my first CLA re-certification half a year ago and found that the exam topics really had changed, since NI had introduced a completely new LV Advanced course. But I don't assume the topic changes will be so big in the coming years. Quote Link to comment

I had my first CLA re-certification half a year ago and found that the exam topics really had changed, since NI had introduced a completely new LV Advanced course. But I don't assume the topic changes will be so big in the coming years. That is how I see it as well with one exception. As I read the NI docs the re-cert req is 70 points vs 75 points to certify the first time. I am not sure if that is a contradiction in the docs because I never found that difference spelled out in a single location. I'd go find links for these docs on the NI site but after passing the new format I really don't want to look at that stuff again soon. . It just seems that the CLA stuff distracts me from learning more of the interesting aspects of LV. Anyone else feel that way? BTW Congrats to you Silmaril ! :thumbup: Ben Quote Link to comment

Anyone else feel that way? That depends very much on what you call "interesting" If you are really making large projects using LV, it certainly pays to invest some time in learning about architectural issues. The big question is, if the NI way teached in the courses (and asked in the exams) is the one only right way. And I think it's no question at all that having a certification makes nobody write better programms. It's a little bit like a driving license: When you finally get it, you can really start learning to drive.

QUOTE(crelf @ Jan 20 2008, 03:54 PM) I just had a few guys go through CLA for the first time, and their pass mark was set at 70. I think it's 75 for the CLAD and CLD and 70 for the CLA. Anyway, just stay above 90% and you won't have any problems. Quote Link to comment
