Certification has had some bad press recently though. On-line cram sites and courses that guarantee exam passes have devalued these certification programs somewhat. IBM has a range of certification programs available covering many of its more popular products and services. 3 new e-business certifications were produced covering electronic commerce strategy implementation and support. A working knowledge of the Internet and some knowledge of IBM s Application Framework for e-business is also specified.
Assessment is by a single exam.
As you might expect, this certification program is aimed at those involved in e-business solution design. It is intended for professionals with maybe two years of systems design or consulting experience behind them. It is heavily slanted towards IBM s Application Framework for e-business and requires a working knowledge of the Internet, networking and Java. Again, assessment is by a single exam. This is a more technical program and as such, a core requirement is that one of IBM s approved technical certification programs has already been achieved.
