    @Pavel.
    Concerning the role of Pearson VUE.
    Pearson VUE delivers exams world-wide over a network of test centers. Around 3000 test centers delivering Qt exams today. Pearson VUE does this for many other customers, e.g. Adobe. They are no idea of Qt as technology and so do not provide any training. They have a broad and long term experience with delivering exams. This is why we use their service.
    Online exams.
    People ask this again and again. We have started the program with exams available in a test center only. This provides the max possible level of security. "Security" means here making sure that it is not easy to cheat, fake ID and do other bad things. The rational is simple: the least what you would like to see is that your exam has no value anyway since it is so easy to cheat or get somebody to do it for you on the web. Certainly, there can be some other use case other exams/test on the web. We have this on the todo list... together with other things...
    Your account
    I've checked our records. There is an account assigned to your name. It was created quite some while ago. I will send your ID per email. Call Pearson (see "this link":http://www.pearsonvue.com/nokiaqt/contact/), refer to this ID and ask to reset your password on the web.
    Local test center
    An older list of all test centers shows that "Computer Academy STEP" ran a Pearson test center in Nikolaev. It is not listed today for some reasons. Maybe it makes sense to contact them and ask how they can support you in Nikolaev.

      Hi
      Thank you Vladimir,
      Qt is very powerfull really state of the art tool you never find.
      It is fact.
      I develop using Qt very seriously and I regard to thing very carefully.
      I will try to contact "Computer STEP Academy" also but it looks they do not know about Qt at all, they look like very poor and undeveloped as a lot of things in Ukraine. I do not think they work with Pearson VUE
      I prefer to be in touch with much more developed institution and people around the world.

        Not sure, I was clear. “Computer STEP Academy” is one of the test centers under contract with Pearson. Like any other, they just run exams, and possibly have no idea what exams are about. There are other companies and communities with Qt know-how.

          Hi Pavel,

          the institutes running the tests do not do courses.
          The tests are computer based, so the test centers need no Qt knowledge at all.

            Are you sure they under contract with Pearson?
            Nevertheless I can check at the place, so you shouldn't care about the thing.

              I split off a completely unrelated posting from Pavel containing two questions on Qt usage/roadmap to this new thread: "Sound and the using of the Resource system":http://developer.qt.nokia.com/forums/viewthread/4468/

                The online site on http://www.pearsonvue.com lists "Computer Academy Step - Nikolaev" in Nikolaev as a test center. (click on locate a test center, choos "Nokia Qt" as testing program, select Ukraine for the country).

                Anything wrong with the result? Did you search yourself already?

                    Vladimir! Sorry I do not understand what is going on with my account at Pearson venue - they do not register my email but I can't login also. I need to "retrieve" my account
                    You said call them, to what country to call? Can I contact them by email? How?

                      Their numbers are listed on the website. Really. I know, because I had to call them not too long ago too. They have access numbers in most countries it seemed, though i think I got redirected to a call center abroad.
