VB6 Certification

[GIAKEN]

Are there any official certifications for Visual Basic 6? I Google'd but they didn't seem official / professional...I'd like to have a certification just to have one

I just completed ExpertRatings VB6 programming certification test, for the hell of it. Then I showed it to Jacob and he went ahead and got one as well.

It seems to be somewhat valued on http://www.rentacoder.com. Although, in the end, I guess it's worth getting...feeds the e-peen afterall.

Jacob scored 1 question better than me...bastard >_>

I don't really mess with ActiveX in VB6 but that's the only thing that I wouldn't pass on.

Well, if you feel confident, go ahead and try it.

It really isn't as easy as it sounds, but its not horribly difficult. I definitely wasn't prepared for it though, it caught me severely off-guard. Although, whats funny is that I said the exact same thing you did prior to taking the test, and my ass got smacked like a newborn baby.

Any hints on questions that you may remember?

[Aaron]

lol that takes the fun out of you taking the test though :p

Well mainly just questions related about ActiveX.

Since VB6 is not fully supported and stuff, and now that VB6 has become VB.Net, there is no official certification for VB6.
If you want to take a look, go at http://www.microsoft.com/learning/certification/.
Good luck ^^.

Yeah I figured that much.

I wonder if the ExpertRatings certification would do any good on a resume?
