To register contact Sylvan Prometric in your region. These courses, or series of courses, run from 2-5 days each. SCO Authorized Instructors are screened and tested as proficient in the subject matter in greater depth than the standard SCO certification requirements, and are an excellent resource for assistance in preparing for SCO certification. For security reasons, you may not remove hand-written notes from the examination room. SCO Companion by James Mohr and UnixWare 7 by Gene Henriksen and Melissa Henriksen are two books that are available where computer books are sold.
Prices vary in some regions.
For additional information regarding exam pricing, please call Sylvan Prometric. From the time you take the first exam, you have one year to successfully complete the remaining SCO requirements. If you fail an exam, you may retake the exam as many times as needed to obtain certification. The current policy is that once you have been certified, you may present yourself as a SCO Certified Professional for the rest of your life, however, the requirements to maintain your certification may change over time. The benefits of the SCO Certification Program are available to you for one year after you have certified, and are renewed when you recertify.
