Well!

What's the criteria for a degree being of some value? I think at least these 3
1- How many people know about that degree 2- How hard the issuing authority works to maintain its standards for passing score, exam questions, etc.?
3- How has one obtained it,

The sites like cramsession, braindump, etc. have contributed a lot in producing more "Certified Professionals" at the same time have damaged the credibility of certification by providing possible questions.

If degrees/certifications are of some worth then am I right to say that you will hire any graduate from the best university of your country without interviewing him/her? No you wouldn't, then what is the worth of the degree/certification he/she holds?

Does OCP, MCP, etc. allow open book or open computer exam? BrainBench does. While you are answering a question at BrainBench, you can verify your answer on the same computer by running the program. Still you will not find it easy to get the required score.

Dear gurus !
May i ask for your opinions regarding the value of the Brainbench Oracle 8i Administration certifications.
I understand that it can not be compared t othe OCP, but is there any value at all for it ?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Andrey.
