IBM is pleased to announce the addition of the following job-role
certification and applicable test to the Professional Certification
Program from IBM (www.ibm.com/certify). This certification is
available worldwide today, September 3, 2008. By achieving this
certification, intermediate level system administrators have
validated their knowledge and skills, and can demonstrate their
technical competence to others.
IBM Certified System Administrator - WebSphere Process Server V6.1
(Test 253, IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V6.1, Core Administration
or
Test 806, IBM WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment V6.1, Advanced Administration)

This intermediate level certification is intended for system administrators
that perform the installation, configuration and day-to-day tasks associated with ensuring
the smooth and efficient operation of the WebSphere Process Server runtime environment. This
