Please post which Certifications/Training courses translated into Big 3 courses

[BMWGuinness]

BMW, the ICCP Database Administration exam fulfills EC's concentration requirement at the upper level with 3 credits:

ICCP - Institute for Certification of Computing Professionals

At $250 (plus proctoring fees) it's kind of expensive (compared to other cert exams). I have this approved in writing but I keep postponing it. I hope to take it within the next 2 to 3 months.

Last time I checked, they didn't have a practice exam for Database Administration, but that was quite some time ago (they did have the one for Systems Development though, which I'm also planning to take, unless I go with Penn Foster on that one and find another UL subject to fill the numbers).

I've been looking at this, and I think the outline for study material is inefficient, you can reference this thread for more information:

Although I have Database experience, it was years ago and possibly outdated. At least with the IT Core exam it is a broad overview of IT Fundamentals, which is easier to study for.

For $250+ I'll either try to get my credit bank taken care of, or take an online course with a better study outline. More of a "Guarantee"

Thanks for the response! It is inciteful for others who review this thread.
