ASP Certification

The ASP Certification requires skills in ASP, SQL and ADO.

The ASP Developer Certificate

ASP (Active Server Pages) is a Microsoft scripting technology that allows insertion of server executable scripts in web pages. ASP is a powerful tool for making dynamic and interactive Web pages.

SQL (Structured Query Language) is an ANSI (American National Standards Institute) standard for accessing database systems. SQL statements are used to retrieve and update data in a database.

ADO (ActiveX Data Objects) is a Microsoft technology that provides data access to any kind of data store.

By mastering these subjects you will be able to develop and maintain dynamic and interactive web pages and also retrieve and update data from a database over the internet.

The ASP Developer Certificate proves fundamental knowledge of web development using ASP, SQL, and ADO.

If you have any questions regarding the exam, do not hesitate to send an email to:

The Supervisor

To add full credibility to your Certificate, you should have a supervisor to watch over you when taking the exam.

You must pick your own supervisor.

The supervisor should be used to see that you do not cheat. There are no other special criteria for the supervisor.

The supervisor's name and title will be printed on the certificate, so it could be wise to pick a supervisor who will add credibility to your certificate (e.g. your boss or teacher).

When you receive the hardcopy of the Certificate, you should ask for a signature from your supervisor.
