Lame largely-my-fault situation
shmokes:
Yeah . . . of course there's something a bit asinine about a lifetime technology certification (on the other hand, I don't have to renew my minor in information systems either). This is perfectly illustrated by the fact that I probably can't sit for the test cold and pass it today (and I haven't had any of that study material for years). But I don't care about what the certification stands for. Like Chad hinted at, I only care that the certification could be the difference between my work Visa being approved or denied. And whether their policy was good or bad, I still studied for it, paid for it, sat for the test and passed. They owe me a Network+ cert.
Anyway, I'll update after I talk to their legal counsel again today. I don't expect much. My hope is that I can scare them into getting off their asses and send some people into their storage units to find my records and the hard drive that has my test on it. I'm sure it exists. If I can't get them to find my records, I'm screwed, cos there's no way they could issue me a certificate on the my honor that I really took and passed the exam. But my hopes aren't high, cos like I said, I'd have virtually no chance of winning a law suit.

I meant to ask you this before, but... 1993? You sure about that date? When I took my A+ in 1998, I thought Comptia only had the A+ cert.
shmokes:
Lmao, did I say 1993? I meant 2003. I took my A+ in 1996. I think I was 17 then, so yeah, I would have been like 14 in '93. ;D
ChadTower:
So you're depending on IT certification professionals to have a retrievable backup of customer data?
You're screwed.
ahofle:
That really sucks. I had to get their Security+ certification before the end of last year for that ridiculous 'lifetime' certification thing. I can't imagine having to do that again because they lost my certification file.
I agree that you should just put the certification down on your resume anyway.
