not entirely true. a flawed system is fatal especially in automotive, aviation, medicine, military, and those rocket science.

i do not support this CPB at all, as im myself is a programmer. well.. im worried how well CPB able to evaluate someone skills and experience, and decide what a person could do and whats not. no, they not gonna hire specialists or even conduct a test to evaluate us. they will probably force us to join training just like what CIDB did to all the contractors and construction personnel. and who are them? are they able to provide training at higher level? are they the expert of <insert language> ? fuq no. if we need their cert to get a job, whats the point of taking microsoft, cisco, etc, certs? and if we use their cert, will we able to ask the same salary as <insert cert name> holders? hell no. if the cert is used as indication of someone skills and knowledge, it just bloody plain stupid. people with higher education level will get more clearance, and 3rd party certs are bonus. but how about people who dont have a cert, but they are very skillful and able to deliver? they will be classified as the lowest tier practitioner. there are lot of people holding software engineering degree but they couldnt do a shyt in programming. and they expect us to trust that their cert is legit? come on.
