My apologies for the intermittent posting frequency. Not to make excuses, but developing technologies that can do exactly what we need to do is a full time job in itself; and my time management skills haven't been up to par lately.

To get back on track I've got some interesting blogs slated for the near and distant future. Amongst other issues in the certification industry, I'm going to start with a short series that outlines the differences between Braindumps and Study Guides, I'll finish up my series on "Securing Test Centers", and I've solicited the help of someone much more qualified to discuss what is going on in the certification industry.

Jamie Mulkey, is a wonderful woman with outstanding credentials in both the certification industry and the testing industry in general. Currently, Jamie is the Vice President of Client Services for Caveon Test Security and has held executive positions with companies such as Hewlett Packard, the Association of Test Publishers ("ATP"), and Certification Magazine. I am honored to have her as my guest blogger here at Network World and hope that everyone here enjoys what we have in store for you.

If there are issues that you would like to hear about in the certification industry feel free to ask about them. I can't guarantee they will be discussed, but we will try to address them.
