So, I’m being offered to take a sysadmin certification for this particular distribution I know absolutely nothing about. They give me the “necessary info” and then I take an exam. The exam is free, but I must pass it, or else I must pay for it and then take it again. Is this a waste of time and/or money? I would like to hear your opinions. Personally it doesn’t quite click with me. I’m fresh out of uni and I’m trying to learn new stuff, but idk what to do with my life anymore. thx
This sounds like a trap.
I wonder what the rate of failure for first time takers is. Probably conspicuously enough to keep the program profitable…
It’s a deal OPs employer (a school that offers tech courses to teach various certifications) has with Oracle.
OP is just getting the same deal that Students get when they purchase a course at his company. It’s pretty standard to include the certification along with the course and they deal with Oracle so the company only has to pay a flat rate to offer certifications to their students.
Lol, its not like they force you to retake the test if you don’t want to.
