In regards to waiving SI502, if tomorrow someone walked in with a MCSE/Visual Basic and no training at all - the

credential alone would be enough for me to waive SI502 because I know the level or rigor to get an the MCSE

credential.  If on the other hand someone showed up with a Peer-2-Peer-University HyperScripter badge and no

other evidence of achievement or skill, in 2012 it would not be enough for me to waive SI502.
