MySQL Certification Exam Price Raised

Sun has made changes in the certification procedures for all their exams including the MySQL exams. Exam vouchers are no longer offered through local Sun Sales Offices but exams can be purchased directly from Prometric. The price has been raised to $300 per exam.

The exam codes are:
Sun 310-810 Sun Certified MySQL DBA 5.0 part I
Sun 310-811 Sun Certified MySQL DBA 5.0 part II
Sun 310-812 Sun Certified MySQL Developer 5.0 part I
Sun 310-813 Sun Certified MySQL Developer 5.0 part II
Sun 310-814 Sun Certified MySQL Associate
Sun 310-815 Sun Certified MySQL 5.1 Cluster DBA

The new prices went into effect January 19th.

Seems like Sun\MySQL changes rules just when they want without advance notice.

"Get Two chances to get MySQL
Certified" was promised until January, 31. Now it is no longer available as well as 50% price raise.

I wonder who would need that for $600 if it was not paid by an employer...

Mohammad -- if you have the vouchers at the lower price they are still valid.
