Anthony,
Funny how no one at Citrix would respond to me until I posted to this
forum. I should do this more often.
You can't tell me that you use all the same methodologies and practices as
you did in FR2, given some of the new features in Presentation Server 3.0.
I certainly don't, so what does that mean?
As a product evolves and new features are added there are always better
ways to architect a solution. I want to learn more about the new ways, not
the old ones, as I will never use them in practice.
I'm sure some of the older statesman on this list will agree.
I strongly believe it is wrong and rude of Citrix to force us to complete a
certification that has out-of-date courseware, and believe that it is
extremely overpriced for what it is.
Kind regards,
Jeremy

Please respond to
thin
Jeremy,
The Current CCIA program is built around MetaFrame XP FR2 and MetaFrame XP
Presentation Server FR3, Windows 2000 and Windows 2003.
The CCIA program is built around Methodology and Practices rather then
product specifics (this is the arena of the CCEA program) and as such is
less dependent on product versions in its targeted objectives. Very little
of the CCIA program's Practices differs between the current curriculum and
Presentation Server 3.0's specific architecture, the methodology does not
change. E.g. the procedure and tools for conducting application functional,
sociability and scalability testing is not impacted by the MetaFrame
Presentation Server release used.
We have not announced a time frame for updated courseware or exams for the
CCIA program.
With Citrix's Platform / Feature release product release strategy we
release
approximately 2-3 updates a year to our product features. Development time
for specific release Methodology and Practices takes a considerable time,
as
we aim to use the practical real life experience of Citrix Consulting in
actual deployments this, along with courseware / exam development prevents
us from providing quality updated CCIA components on release of new product
versions.
Please see for http://www.citrix.com/site/SS/training/tests.asp for our
official position on discontinuation, retirement and other policies
regarding Citrix exams.
From a historical perspective Citrix has only had a single recertification
event, on the 1st May 2004, since the introduction of our CCA, CCEA and
CCSP
certifications. Note the MetaFrame 1.8 exam continues to count towards CCA
and CCEA certification.

Anthony Barr

Subject: [THIN] CCIA Certification
Hi All,
Has anyone completed this cert, or just the training course.
Has the courseware been updated to contain Presentation Server 3.0
information?
We/I must complete the CCIA before the end of the year to maintain our Gold
Partner status.
Please don't provide any information about the course/lab itself, as that
would be breaking the rules and considered to be cheeting.
For some reason, Citrix seem to be having difficulties confirming whether
or not the courseware is current, and I don't really want to spend the
several thousand dollars on out of dated courseware and labs.
I know this is a bit of a silly post, but please just confirm one way or
the other.
Cheers.
Kind regards,
Jeremy
