I'd like to enhance my training by earning a IBM examination oriented
DB2 credential.

But when I search the internet, even IBM's traing site, all I find are
entities that want to sell me on a $1000/day training seminar.

Is there a such thing as examination orentied DB2 training from IBM
where you can purchase a book, study on your own, and then take an exam
for ~$200 and earn a recognized DB2 credential?

And please, pass on the links to sites having more $1000/day traing
seminars. Those are a waste and an insult to REAL education like you'd
get in a US state university.

Thanks.

You need to pass 2 exams to be certified as a DBA. The preliminary exam is
primarily on SQL and understanding the DB2 product line. The second exam is
the DBA exam. The exams cost $150 each.

The sample exams that cost $10 each are excellent preparation, since the
questions are very similar to the real questions. You should probably take
the sample multiple times, since most the questions are likely to be
different (but probably not all of them different).

There are several IBM DB2 Certification Exam books that you can find on
Amazon.com. But your likelihood of passing is going to be much higher if you
are able to practice on a real database using DB2, which you can download
for free on the IBM website.
