I just got my voucher for a free certification exam (included in the 2 day training class at WES). Its only good for 6 months. I already have a BlackBerry Certified Support Specialist (both BIS and BES) but would like to get the BlackBerry Certified System Administrator as well. So just a couple quick questions.

1. Any idea when the BES 5.0 certification exams will be available. Specifically the Domino based exams? I would rather not take another Beta exam if possible.
2. I have the training materials from the 2 day course, but I am assiming that this will not be enough to pass. What else should I study up on to give myself a fighting chance?

Thanks,
Doug

Doug, I'd HIGHLY suggest taking the beta exam. The BCX-420 is actually quite simple, especially if you've already passed the 410 exam. I only looked over the Feature and Technical Guide and Administration Guide for about 30 minutes the morning of the exam and passed Needless to say, taking a beta exam allows you the ability to miss a few more questions without as much of impact

Thanks for your vote of confidence. But your significantly more experienced with BES and its features than I am. Its hard for me to retain information when your not able to use it on a regular basis.

I was looking to take a non-beta exam because the voucher I got specifically states it has to be a BCP series exam.

To answer my own question. I received this response from the BlackBerry certification team.
