CEBS

Mishka asked what exactly is this CEBS test I'm taking. Well, once upon a time (last year to be exact) my boss of the time mentioned on my performance review that I should become a Certified Employee Benefits Specialist. (CEBS) I said I had thought about it but it was cost prohibitive (tests are $265 with study materials running $120 and you can't pass the test without at least the study guide and possibly the book too (another $120ish)). So I am on my way to becoming an official Certified Employee Benefits Specialist. There are 8 tests to take. I've taken 4 and the one tomorrow will be my 5th. Next quarter I've decided to take two so then the spring quarter I'll take one and be done. This is in case the new boss is a tool and I have to quit sooner than I want to. :) The tests will help me out in the real world make a lot more money. theoretically.

Thanks for clarifying...and it does sound like a good idea for you to do even though it costs. I need to get moving on my MSCE stuff but the cost and time is an issue for me as well...I know it will be good for me in the long run but I am not looking forward to it.

If time is more the issue than cost, why not do a boot camp style one? Do that offer that for MCSE? My husband did it for his Cisco certs.
