When are the results of the beta exams due?
-
Very interesting! I don't have such an account (AFAIK, had troubles with that when taking the test at the last dev days too), so I can't check for myself!
I guess: congrats!
Did you take the advanced beta tests? If so, you are already a Certified Developer, so you have earned a badge for that at least. Ask MariusG how to get one.
-
I've checked my Pearson VUE account too and confirm that status was changed (I also have both adv exams with "pass" status). So official results notification is near? :)
-
Hey, the state has changed, that's good to know. So I think they finished the stuff and will send out the certificates :-)
-
If all goes well, I'll get some login info from Pearson soon, so I hope I'll be able to check my results too... Exciting!
-
Whoohoo! A good Christmas present :-)
-
Yeah indeed. I just checked and it seems that the results are checked in at Pearson Vue :-)
-
Yes! A pass for both the Advanced Widgets and the C++ for Qt exams. :-)
Seems I can claim that "Nokia Certified Qt Specialist" badge. Nice way to end the year!
-
Hehe. We were counting the seconds here. Yes, there will be more badges coming. :)
-
Do you have more christmas presents for us?
But I think, tomorrow you will also have days off, right?
-
No special plans for presents any more, I'm afraid. ;)
Yes, we do have the day off tomorrow to decorate our trees, wrap the presents and slave in the kitchen (and the rest of the apartment in my case). At least, I'm done with all the shopping...
-
Yes! My status is "pass" for the two exams.
-
I was hoping for something a little more dramatic: pass.... not even the score... OK, it is better than fail :)
I am still waiting for my t-shirt! They told me that I could get one only if I passed the test... Here you have it, I did :)
So now back to the basics... at least I will get a nice badge under my avatar :)
-
Yes! My status is "pass" on two exams (also on the Qt Essentials :P) :D
-
When can we expect the certificates arrival?

I think we should wait for the official email to arrive, after that the certificates should be printed then mailed to us.
-
Just got the official email. Cheers!

Me too.... :)
bq. If you did not pass the Qt Essentials exam yet, please consider this. The "Qt Essentials" exam is another pre-requisite for a higher designation in addition to the passed "Qualified in C++ with Qt" exam.
Does it mean that you also need to pass the "essentials" in order to use the "Qualified in C++ with Qt" "designation"?

Yes, according to the "web page":http://qt.nokia.com/developer/learning/certification/qt-certification-advanced-exams the essential exam is a prerequisite for the advanced certification. As far as I understood, you can take the advanced exam first, but you are not a "Nokia Certified Qt Specialist" as long as you did not pass the essential exam.

I was planning on taking it anyway.... :)
-
Hey, cool, only the certificate is missing now.
-
Gerolf, certificate and new badge here :)
-
ok, sorry, 2 things are missing :-)

Damn, I knew there was a ripoff...

Congratulation Andre and Milot for passing the Exam.

Thanks buddy :D
-
I got the official email yesterday, but the celebration was finished before that :P
-
I got some notification e-mails on both exams telling me that I have passed both exams. The status at the pearson home page has also changed to "pass" for both exams. I hope we get the same printed out certificates like for the first certification soon :-)
-
Question to ones who passed both exams. What will you put into your CV? Just only "Nokia Certified Qt Specialist" or both certifications?
-
As it may not be obvious that the on is a prerequisite for the other, I would put both.
-
Volker, oops, I was a bit unclear. I meant both Advanced Exams.
-
ah, ok. Then of course both!
-
Volker, hehe :) I will add both too (all three, including essentials).
-
Unfortunately I was too lazy to take the advanced widgets for free. Silly me - I'll wait till next DevDays.
-
Volker, afair they will be with some discount in release mode for ones who have passed essentials before some date.
Updated.
-
Now as we have so many certified developers in the forum. Someone can start a wiki article on the different levels of certification and references to any study materials.
-
QtK, there is curriculums for all three exams at qt.nokia.com. I'm not sure that something more can be added, they cover all that you need to know to pass the exam.
-
Yes, curriculums are there. But there are no specific book to refer to for certification as we have for other certifications. So any sort of preparation material would help.

I think Qt Documentation is a perfect resource for learning Qt for the exams. Except those for C++ which "this":http://www2.research.att.com/~bs/3rd.html is the one book for C++ :)
-
Documentation is very good for reference. But then you always need a book or guide, some people like to read hard copy. Despite these documentation there are people in Qt working on preparing study materials. Now someone is doing it because they feel there is a need for such things.
Similarly, I felt there should be some more material available for preparing for certifications apart from Qt Documentation.

This raises a question where would the book authors learned how to program in Qt? I am sure that most of them are coming from the Qt Documentation.
As for the hard copy, you can easily print any information from the Qt Assistant directly.
