This sounds like a cash cow to me. Here in Quebec, we have something called a Bilingual Certificate, which you can get out of high school. Allegedly, this is proof to employers that you are bilingual. The truth is, they couldn't care less what papers you show them, if they speak to you in french, you better be able to respond to them in french. Truth be told, I really don't know why you need to take a certification exam for the company you work for... they obviously dig your work. What if you failed the exam, would they fire you? The fact that they would have to rely on someone else's test results rather than the work you churn out for them, no offense, sounds fawking stupid. If you have no choice, I guess take the exam, but to me that just means that the company doesn't even trust their own judgement wshen it comes to who they keep on the workload. If someone told you that Joe Satriani never took a guitar lesson in his life, would it make him less of a guitarist than he already is? It shouldn't, "Surfin' with the Alien" speaks for itself.
