Yep, Im always being hassled by my boss to get mine sorted but time is = the big factor.=20 The CCEA cert thing has become a bit like MCSE, since all of these cram = sites and papers came out, its appears to be loosing credibility. Basically you either can or cannot do the stuff, references always speak = more than certifications. Heres a thought, why doesn't the IT industry adopt a fellowship thing = like doctors. Get rid of these paper certified dudes and companies who = are making a killing from these get certified quick schemes.

There was a big rush early (in the resller community for sure) Then after about 500-600 were through it slowed down some.

But I doubt there will be a lot of these guys outside of resellers. Simple reason is that it is really like an in-depth MetaFrame Admin course that gets more into the services and the architecture.=3D3D3D20 Once you take the written exam (computer based obviously) and pass then you will have to go to Citrix and take a hands-on much like the CCIE. Of course you have to pay for it, and travel... much more than spending a Saturday morning at Silvan for 100 bucks. Now I THINK that resellers might be able to use some other funds for this. But even if they cant most will be required to keep one of these guys on staff anyway and will for up for their top Citrix guy. I mean when the CCEA first came out we all thought it was the biggest thing in the reseller community. Hell I even took everything in beta so I could get a cool "original CCEA" jacket from them for the first 50 guys to get the cert. But alas now it is no big deal and I don't even know where the jacket is anymore.
