Ada Certification

Ada Certification

[Alexandra R.]

Does anyone know if there are standardized tests
and/or certifications for people who are self-taught
in the basics of Ada programming (such as new college
graduates who had no Ada courses offered in their school
but wanted the skills to help plan a career as
a Software Engineer for Avionic Systems).

Standardized tests would be helpful to demonstrate 
that they do have Ada programming skills and would
simplify evaluating their resumes.

What is the Psychometrics National Ada Exam?

Thanks, Alexandra R.

I do not know of any. RR Software has a little tutorial test which would
not be as large as what you are looking for, but would be something short
and serious enough for a prospective employer to use on you during an
interview.

However, as for standardized tests and wanting a test to help you be
responsible with avionic systems, there are a few subsets of Ada used in
that field.

I have not heard of it before.
