Are certifications worth it?

I have just been on RedHat SA 3 training course (4 days) and sat exams EX200 (RHCSA) and EX300 (RHCE)

The daft thing was that politics meant I wasn't allowed to take courses SA 1 or 2. So I learnt about stuff I would never use (SELinux; iSCSI; NFS Kerberos encrypted with user specific access rules etc.) and then took the exams.

Somehow I passed RHCSA for the course I didn't do, even though I didn't know a few big chunks so would score zero for those sections. Sadly I failed on RHCE because there's too much to remember about irrelevant stuff that I would never dream of using and it all seems a bit over contrived.


Given that the exams marks if you can pass the exam rather than how you perform in a real job, what do people think of it's value? It might look good to management and help get an interview, but as someone not looking to move, ........ ?



Just wondering, Smilie

IO::All::HTTPS(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				       IO::All::HTTPS(3pm)

NAME
IO::All::HTTPS - Extends IO::All for HTTPS URLs SYNOPSIS
use IO::All; $content < io('https://example.org'); # GET webpage # two ways of getting a page with a password: $content < io('https://me:secret@example.org'); $content < io('https://example.org')->user('me')->password('secret'); DESCRIPTION
This module extends IO::All for dealing with HTTPS URLs. Note that you don't need to use it explicitly, as it is autoloaded by IO::All whenever it sees something that looks like an HTTPS URL. The SYNOPSIS shows some simple typical examples, but there are many other interesting combinations with other IO::All features! For example, you can get an HTTPS URL and write the content to a socket, or to an FTP URL, of to a DBM file. METHODS
This is a subclass of IO::All::LWP. The only new method is "https", which can be used to create a blank IO::All::HTTPS object; or it can also take an HTTPS URL as a parameter. Note that in most cases it is simpler just to call io('https://example.com'), which calls the "https" method automatically. OPERATOR OVERLOADING
The same operators from IO::All may be used. < GETs an HTTPS URL; > PUTs to an HTTPS URL. SEE ALSO
IO::All, IO::All::LWP, LWP. AUTHORS
