Maxsolar's Linux Blog: 終於拿到NCLP證照了(二)！

這個標題很奇怪，但我不得不說一下...Novell這間公司有時候證照辦得太多，也是很容易出錯的。終於拿到NCLP award！這篇文章中，可以發現我只收到NCLA，但是我考的NCLP呢？我從未拿到。由於我從認證資料庫裡查到我確實有CLP的紀錄在，因此也就沒有多疑，即使我沒有拿到紙本的NCLP證照！不過我越想越不對，前幾天又寫信給Novell負責教育訓練的窗口，我列出我所拿到的證照，也就是我在終於拿到NCLP award！這篇文章所列出的證照是否為NCLP所應該有的全部：

Greeting Sir,
In August 2008, I passed NCLP exam.
yesterday I get a Linux Technical Specialist cert in my email box, 
I suddenly found that what I got is a NCLA certification, 
but what I should take is the NCLP cert, right? 
the attached files are what i have, may I know if these are all licences for a NCLP passer?
if these are all for a NCLP passer, why what we got is NCLA instead of NCLP?
if there is NCLP certification but for some reason I never receive awarded emails from Novell,
would you please resend it to me?

And the final question is for NCLP11. If I pass NCLP11 in the future,
will Novell award me both NCLA and NCLP or NCLP only?
thank you!

我想知道CLP11是不是還會像以前一樣同時送CLA，他的回答如下：

Hello Jim,

Your CLP 10 is showing in your certification progress as completed. I have re-sent the pdf file to you for your certificate. If you complete the CLP you will also be a CLA. Thanks,

Tyler

果然，剛剛我就收到了睽違快要兩年的NCLP證照...雖然已經是過往雲煙了，但這種心情很奇怪，沒啥高興的感覺，我想這大概就是遲來的正義的感覺吧！而且也解決了一個小疑點：即使是SLES 11的版本，拿到NCLP還是一樣同時擁有NCLA的證照，不會改變。

Dear JIM TING TANG:

Congratulations! On behalf of Novell Technical Training, it is a pleasure to grant you the title of:
