procedures than actually helping CT.
Sorry for the OT and flaming properties of this mail.
In the end, I wouldn't let a CT burn (even though I might want to and
actually say so), but I would charge them extra *if* I had warned
them.

That is a very important point. Does any part of the formal training
for OCP certification or do any of the examination questions
emphasize the importance of business continuity, not in the
"technical sense" (ie feasibility and modes) but in the *business* sense.
When a person calls himself a "Certified Professional", what
"Professional Responsibilities and Ethics" are tested before he is certified ?
The word "Professional" has to mean something more than "Certified to
have passed Technical Exams". Not all vendors have "professional"
programs although they do have "certified engineer" programs.
On forums.oracle.com, in the midst of personal attacks and flame wars
there have been thought provoking questions about what an "Engineer"
is. Similar questions should be raised about what a "Certified
Professional" is. I believe that a "Professional" isn't just someone
who has completed a formal course of education and has been tested on
that course. A "Professional" must, in addition to the
"certification of having passed exams in technical knowledge" know
of and apply certain standards of behaviour, expression and responsibility.
I am not criticising any specific instances on oracle-l /
comp.databases.oracle.server / forums.oracle.com but expressing my
disappointment with the usage of the word "Professional" in Oracle's
Certification program.
Oracle seems to have taken a "convenient" or "easy" way to
differentiate between two levels of examination -- one being
Associate and the other being Professional, but I really am not
comfortable with the usage of the label "Professional".
