Shalom,

RHCE, Red Hat Certified Engineer, is more valuable than brain bench.

I did run into an employer that insisted I take a brainbench test BEFORE an interview. I passed the test but they did not send me my score.

BrainBench is only worth it when they offer the $0/free cert tests (I passed about 50 tests the last time they offered their recruitment specials). But after 25 years in the field, I found that getting my Master's degree got me more in terms of better pay/position/etc than any certification ever did.

thank you all ....
an employer wants me to complete any Suse linux certification before i join them ... i m running short of time ... i v never learnt SLES 10 with an attempt to clear any exams. They have given me an option of Novell Certification or Brainbench to complete in 10 odd days.
