I passed the Core exam today, and at that with 15 minutes to spare! I owe this in large part to the MySQL Certification Study Guide, a very pleasant book, easy to use and with clear explanations. Many thanks to you and your coauthors for this fine book! — Ida Engqvist, Department of Neuroscience, Karolinska Institutet, Sweden
The MySQL certification program is very useful, particularly for us DBAs, as it provides a basis for international recognition and of course a salary raise, but also to promote MySQL software. I found that questions on the MySQL DBA exams are more difficult than those on the Oracle DBA exams (I'm also Oracle OCP DBA). Without MySQL the 5.0 Certification Study Guide I wouldn't have passed the exam. It taught me things I didn't know existed in MySQL. — Dejan Topalovic - Database Consultant and DBA
Please Note: Beginning on July 31st, 2009 MySQL Exams will no longer be delivered by Pearson VUE. Persons with outstanding test vouchers should contact Sun Learning Services certification@sun.comfor an exchange.

At various times, MySQL will offer the possibility of taking certification exams at different events. Most notably, discounted certification exams are offered during the MySQL Conference each year.
The examination is paper-based, but with the difference that exam results are often available later on the same day that the exam has taken place.
Before taking a MySQL certification certification exam at a MySQL event, you must first obtain a MySQL Certification Candidate ID. You can sign up with the MySQL program here ».
