Hi friends,

I need to take a Mainframe Certification like the DB2 certification provided by IBM. I would like to know what other certifications are available and their providers

sivasathivel,

Please search before posting. There are atleast half dozen topics that discuss about Db2 certification.

Thanks for your response. Actually I'm not interested in DB2, Would like to try certifications, that gives a status of a designer, architect, etc. Like the CICS e-soultioner Desginer Certification. Would like to know what certifications are available other the DB2 and CICS certifications by the IBM?

Again, I must ask the question:

What is the value added to an individual by being "certified" without the long-term work experience to back it up?
