    I took another one of these last night and passed. The series that I am taking (Supervision and Management) consists of 7 exams. Thus far the 2 that I have taken/passed have come with the "mini me" certificates that are similar to the FEMA certs.

    Does anyone know if you receive a larger, more professional certificate when you complete the entire series?

    Cool Shotojoku: Completion Certificate

    Shoto,

    After completing each series of mini-cert tests (ie 7), you get a completion certificate (for free) that lists the main job certification and all the mini-certs you completed. So the main goal is to finish the X number of mini cert tests to get the main job/goal certificate that lists all the required mini cert tests.
    The main certificates are what I listed mainly on my resume.

    It's still another mini-certificate, but the main certificate actually has more words and color to it. I wish there was a way to order a hardcopy, it would look at lot better in a picture frame - especially with the Rutgers University name on it. I'm still searching thru the other jobs I can test out of that have some overlap with the past certs I have already taken. Just haven't had a lot of time recently to take some more certs in this busy world.... ugh!

    Main certificate (item #3): It's the red certificate behind the plain one!

    seems a bit pricey though...

    I went to the link and they said they are shutting down. Be sure to copy down the web address to access your transcript for employment verification. I got 2 of these in 07. Kinda fun. Too bad they are closing the site.
