Puppet users - Sep 2012 - Does certification make sense for non-PE users?

Subject really says it all. I took the practice exam linked from @PuppetLabs
and I was a little bit surprised/caught-off-guard by the number of either PE or
Console questions, neither of which I''ve ever used :-!

I am taking the developer exam though, so I''m sure that will be at
least a
little different.

Does it make sense to take the exam for an "open source puppet user",
or is it
really more geared towards Enterprise customers who use the "Puppet
Ecosystem?"


Not that I don''t like taking tests, I just don''t want to waste
PL''s or my own
time if it doesn''t make sense :)

Hi R. Tyler,

Both the Puppet Professional and Puppet Developer exams include questions 
about Puppet Open Source and Puppet Enterprise. However, many of the Puppet 
Enterprise-specific questions will be applicable to Puppet Open Source 
because Puppet Enterprise is based on Puppet Open Source. Since you''re 
taking the Puppet Developer certification exam, you might want to check out 
the "Exam Objectives" section of this 
page: http://puppetlabs.com/services/certification/puppet-developer/. This 
will give you a clearer picture of what to expect from the exam.

I hope this helps! If you have any further questions, please feel free to 
email certification@puppetlabs.com.

Thanks, Christy
