Hi all, I just took the CDIA+ beta exam today, and my response to Donald is a qualified yes. I am familiar with all of the materials available: Specialized Solutions, DataVault, Rheinner, and of course @Doc, whose materials I presently use in my classes. I would say that for folks with experience in imaging and project management, any of the study materials available should allow you to pass the beta exam. For those of you who are not as experienced, you will want to either take the existing exam while it is offered (which may only be through the end of this year, if that) or wait until updated materials are made available. It is not a fundamental rewrite, but there are some changes you would want to review. Hope this helps - I am happy to provide any additional assistance I can regarding the CDIA+ program, CDIA+ materials, or my own CDIA+ courses. :) Regards, Jesse Wilkins CDIA+, LIT, EDP, ICP Metalinear Media (303) 574-1455 office (303) 484-4142 fax [log in to unmask] Yahoo!: jessewilkins8511 MSN Messenger: [log in to unmask] >From: Donald Chalfant <[log in to unmask]> >Reply-To: Records Management Program <[log in to unmask]> >To: [log in to unmask] >Subject: Re: CDIA+ exam in beta >Date: Thu, 16 Jun 2005 15:56:46 -0400 > >One quick question.
