Hello,

I caught wind of this from another board and thought I'd pass it on. I actually completed three job certificates over the weekend! You actually pick a goal/job and take a certain # of cert tests to acquire a job skill certificate. But for each individual cert test you take, you are awarded a (sub) certificate leading up to your job skill certificate. Now there is a purchase needed for each cert test, and you can only acquire your score/certificate if you pass and purchase the cert test at the end (prices ranges from $25 to $50) for each cert test certificate. For those looking for certifications to add to a resume this is a really good deal. Again, let me say that these are job certifications and they have no academic value - but great material to add to the resume since they carry the Rutgers University name!

Good luck to everyone!

On the average, 30 to 40 minutes. You have 3 minutes per question to answer. I have taken a test in 30 minutes and as long as 45 minutes. Kind of addicting if you ask me, but fun at the same time!!

You could use everything you can get your hands on if you can find the right answer within the 3-minute time limit. Some tests are common-knowledge, some are down out-right tough. I approached the certs as a challenge of my skills and was I surprised on some of these tests - not all of them a walk in the park in my opinion. But, it's an accomplishment (from a distinguished institution) I can proudly note on the resume!!

Good Luck ShotoJuku!

Shotojoku,

I spent a weekend just working on the tests and was proud of the certs I completed. If it wasn't for the Rutgers name, I'd probably pass. But for the price and distinction, you can't go wrong - plus these certs don't have to be renewed either (like some others out there)! I plan to take more, but have to align them with my job skills and goals.

-Have fun!

Maildog:

You can get skill certs from Cornell University too. By sheer coincidence, I received a training catalog late in the week. Go to ILR Management Programs

Thanks,
Anne

Hi Brian,
I wasn't able to find the Management and Supervision series or the Leadership & Motivation. Could you please post a link to this for me. This really caught my interest. Congrats on being half done with getting your Masters, very impressive!
