MySQL Certifications

Does anyone have them ?

How difficult are they ?

Is it worth bothering ?

Dunno if this is for the same type of thing, but there is a Zend qualification, which used PHP and mySQL i think?

My mate is into the web development side of computer and he has just been scouted as they are in demand here, and hes on a very good wage!

I thought about it, but web dev aint really what i want to get into, but if there is money....i might be tempted.

It doesn't suprise me at all they have a certification program, but this is the first time I've seen it mentioned. Here's a link for others who are interested:

I think they would go well with your LPIC certs. I does seem to go a lot further than installing and managing MySQL, and seems to be mostly valuable for developers. If the latter is what you do/want to do, I'm sure 'MySQL' certs will look good on a resume.

If you are interested in furthering yourself MySQL cert can be used as an elective towards MCSA.

That's interesting. Do you have a link to verify that ? Just curious.

As I already have Security+ I would take this for an elective but I'm not currently aiming for MCSA.

I was about to post the same question. After reading this topic I searched a bit and couldn't find anything about it. I'm pretty sure ITGuy88 got MS SQL server mixed up with MySQL.
