Thx Nanu. I have gone through some sites already and i believe that I do have a pretty good understanding. Tara I was just trying to see if there were any training programs or books that were designed to help get IBM RUP certification. There is so much that we can learn about RUP. the more i read about RUP the more i find that there is much more for me to learn. K tesaile I was trying to find a easier way. Ani this certification exam is pretty expensive too ..so dont want to take a risk of nto passing it the first time....ani if you have taken any certification besides PMP please lets share the info..any idea about six sigma and SOX certifications and preparations? please let me knwo if you have any idea about it...
