Note!
|
BSDCertification.com provides a unique approach to certification by making certification more than just passing a test. BSD Certificaiton is a two step process. Once a test has been passed, a prospective certifier must be endorsed by others in the BSD community before they are certified. Though most endorsements will be members of the BSD community, BSDCertification.com will endorse those who can prove they are actively taking part in the BSD community.
