Qt Certified Developer Badge
-
We are working on a scheme and on the content of advanced levels of certification. There are no plans for September though, possibly for "Developer Days 2010":http://qt.nokia.com/qtdevdays2010. We will post some details on the web for discussions and feedback as soon as it will be more concrete.

Hi,
There was the possibility to take the beta test for the advanced exams at Qt Dev Days in Munich.
What is the relationship between the beta tests there and the final certification? The pass scorelimit wasn't set yet and we didn't get any pass/fail, just "participated" but will we have to take the exam again once the certification/exams are finalized?
-
riussi, AFAIR you will not have to take it again, if your score will be big enough then you will become a Specialist.
Vladimir, am I right? -
riussi,
the trolls haven't set up the final scores for passing/failing the certification (that's why you "only" participated). You won't have to do the exam again if you passed during the beta test.

Thanks, Volker for re-posting the link! As mentioned on the web, we consider the beta exams as a valid way to get passed. So if you passed the beta, you passed. The major difference is the you do not know this just after the exam. The might be some other changes as mentioned on the web, be they do not affect your result.
Please also keep in mind that one advanced exam is not sufficient to become a Specialist. This designation requires Qt Essentials passed as well.

I have a qustion. If I pass beta exam tommorow (30.11), when result will be known?
-
We plan to finish the analysis of the results and send an info email by the end of the year latest. Please note that the beta is scheduled to close after Dec the 3rd. The 3rd is the latest day you can take a beta advanced exam.
Good luck!

Thank you!
Hm... are you sure about 3rd of December? When I shedule exam in pearsonvue web-service, the 30th of Novemer was the last day when I could plan my exam. It's not critical for me, but may be critical for someone.
-
This might be related to opening hours of the test center you've selected. I just tried a couple of random test centers with my account and all listed the exam till the Dec 3rd. But thanks for the reminder! Those warnings are always very helpful!

[/quote]I still think this piece is funny on that page. I noted the same when they first announced it:
[quote]Win a book if you are one of the fastest or give the most valuable comments!The major target of the beta exams is to get loads of feedback about the exam content. We can't express how grateful we would be for anything you have to share with us and would like to encourage you to help us out here. You can win a C++ or a Qt book of your choice by reaching one of the two following targets during the exam:
“Shortest exam time with most correct responses”
“Best comments with most correct responses”
Just decide if you would like to reach these targets and plan your exam time accordingly. [/quote]The people winning these books will be the people who will have the least use for them, as they will probably be the most advanced Qt users around already. I will laugh all the more if the author of the book wins the challenge :-)

Hi,
I've passed the exam and I'd like to get some official unique logo/badge to put on forum and at another places, I've sent request via : http://developer.qt.nokia.com/contact , but still haven't get the response
Can you please explain, who knows what logos/badges can I get and how?
Thank you -
Hi Pavel, when did you send in your request? We usually sort those out pretty fast. But not on the weekends (mostly).
