CIW is a vendor-neutral (non-company specific)
certification that exemplifies Internet technologies and web
authoring tools. Several tracks are offered under the same
umbrella. The specific one I'm following (Master CIW Designer)
focuses on in-depth issues such as online marketing, business
frameworks, transaction security, databases, HTML, XML, Java
applets and more.
To qualify for a Master CIW Designer, three main exams (each
a 30 hour course) have to be passed with a grade of at least
75%. Click on the links to view the pdf files that detail
the objectives of each (note that the CIW Foundations
course is further subdivided into three seperate sections):
After successfully completing the Foundations Exam, a status
of CIW Associate will be established (which qualifies the
candidate to pursue any other line from the CIW tracks).
I completed the foundations exam material and am scheduled
to register for my test (which is due in around two weeks)
- wish me luck :)
