Access certification?

Howdy folks,

I ran across a position for an Access Developer requiring an "Access Certification," but the only Access cert I can think of is the MOUS one, which doesn't even begin to cover database development, especially not for a job requiring 5+ years of ground-up development experience.

Did I miss something? Or do I just assume that they are off-base? After all, the actual job is something a very junior-level developer could do anyway.

But if there is a good Access cert out there, I might as well tack it on.

quote:
Requirements:
More than 5 years of experience in developing
databases from scratch. Experience in actual code:
SQL. Certification in MS Access. Experience in
manufacturing industry.

Project:
Transfer Lotus 1,2,3, micros into MS Access Database.

MOUS is the only one I know of too. Based on the job description I'd say it's probably talking about this since it's such a simple job. MCDBA is another possibility, but unlikely since it doesn't really cover access.

That's what I thought. It's a simple job, but they seem to think it's an immense one. Manufacturing experience???

Sounds like the client from hell -- I sure don't want the gig!

I know, I wouldn't want to work for them either. Five years of experience to convert databases? Come on.

Too true . . . my head is one quarter grey and I am only 29. Beware of programming!

Don't work too hard, relax a little and enjoy your lift.

Answering idiot questions gives me gray hair! At least I always win when I argue with the computer (eventually.) I've earned every last one of them, I just wish they wouldn't insist in sticking straight up where they can glint in the florescent light.

Database programming is a little different: if you have a solid data model, the rest is icing. Be it chocolate or lemon, the cake is still vanilla underneath.

For some reason the words "sledgehammer," "swat" and "fly" come to mind...
