I'm still waiting for my 3.5 Cert, even though I passed my 4.0 already.

Hi Tony,
Thank you for the job information. I look at the requirements and find that I don't meet the standard.
I have been in the IT field for just 2 years, plus two years of graduate study.

To answer the earlier question (about how long) - very. I just got my 488 certificate and laminated card yesterday, and I took the test a week before Thanksgiving. I'm still holding my breath on when the 489 card arrives.

It normally takes about 2 weeks to get your certificate from IBM. Since the recent Christmas holidays, it will take about a month. You can email them at certad@ca.ibm.com for your status. I still did not get my certificate for the 489 test. It passed it over a month ago.
