Certificate in Data Processing

Certificate in Data Processing

The Certificate in Data Processing is a certification that requires several years IT experience, the recommendation of a current CDP holder, and the successful completion of a 6-part written exam. The exam tests the individual's knowledge and experience with hardware, operating systems, telecommunication, systems, programming, and other data processing areas. If one fails a section, only that section needs to be retaken to complete the certification. Initially, most of the hardware, OS, and programming sections were largely IBM oriented. By the mid 1980s, these sections included references to DEC and UNIX operating systems and other vendors and standards.
