 | Senior Member with 520 posts. | | Join Date: Mar 2002 Location: Hartlepool, North East UK Experience: Intermediate | | BrainBench Website Hi i cant think of anywhere else to put this so i hope it is ok in here.
Anyway i have come across a website called brainbench which allows you to register with them and take various training and tests, but i was wondering if anyone knows anything about this site? Is it good are the certificates accepted by employers or are they certificates only accepted inside the USA.
I live in the UK and some of the tests would benefit myself but i dont want to waste my time and money on them if they will be no use to me.
Thanks
Mick

A lot of the tests are "free", but the actual certificates cost some fundage. You can download little icons to place on your resume or website or whatever, and those are free too.
I've gotten certified on a bunch of stuff I would have never even thought of normally...

The term "to crack it" is to mean to solve the problem. It's an english saying.
Are you familiar with flat pack furniture?
Ok then an example:
Furniture plans are laid out on the floor, husband is going nuts `cos he can't figure it out.
He says "I will crack this yet!"
It's in a similar vein as to when the English couple went out until the late hours in New York and, on return to the hotel the wife said to the husband, overheard by the taxi driver "Will you knock me up in the morning" aka Please set my alarm.

To me "crack" and "software" spell illegal. | | Senior Member with 1,808 posts. | | Join Date: Jul 1999 Location: Here for more than 10 years! Experience: BSBM, A+, MCP, OS X |

#12 | Yes i agree something deff needs to be done about the language thing like, especially between us and the us. and just to clarify what wolfy said, its true we use the term "crack" to solve/tackle something .
I know we are a sad set of muppets but hey thats what makes us an exciting species
