matlab certification

Does mathworks provide any certification in matlab If yes where can i get details regarding it.

If not is there any other globally recognized organisation providing the same. thnx in advance...........

All interested on the certification, please vote on this question so Mathworks can see the need for it!!!

I would love to see a cert track. I'm a defense contractor so my company doesn't like to pay for any training that unless it results in a shiny certificate that I can brag about on my resume.

Important update: see my new answer below...

$600 plus plane ticket, hotel costs, and 3 wasted vacation days, no thanks! In fact, no one I asked in my field even knew about the certification program. At least for now, it won't exactly help me get anywhere...

Answer 1

Ask and it shall be given unto you:

There is now a new answer to this queston: yes. In case you missed it: yes. And to clarify: YES.

Yes, you can become MATLAB certified.

:)

EDIT TO ADD: Congratulations to our first MATLAB Certified Associates! (Want to join the club? Click the link above...)

Interesting. Not inexpensive, though.

Hmmm, I didn't know you have a Michigan office... that's 1000 km closer for me.

The question was "provide any certification" not "provide cheap certification" :)

Unfortunately online certification exams are hard to manage...

It's a big difference from the "For FREE" pricing you mentioned before ;-)

(I suspect for most people, the travel and accommodation costs would be higher than the exam costs itself.)

Well that was the price for the product offered at that time. Current pricing reflects significant improvements in the product!

Wish they would offer Simulink certification too. Perhaps some day. For those who have gotten other kinds of software certifications: did your employer pay? What is the advantage to the employer to have a certified employee, perhaps that you have to increase your skills to pass?

Answer 2

RoJo is correct.

You receive confirmation of any MathWorks training courses you complete, but there is currently no MathWorks certification program for MATLAB. People have asked for this and it is under consideration.

In order to produce more people answering on here, you should give certifications to anyone with a reputation higher than some threshold. Walter would be a deity.

Matt I'm also very interested in some kind of official certification, please make it happen, do your magic ;) and make it something that we don't need to pay for :)

Sean and others interested on the certification, please vote on this question so Mathworks can see the need for it!!!

I would also be very interested in becoming certified. I am already accused of being certifiable, based on my chronic use of MATLAB!

@Matt Fig: How'd you talk them into that? I just get accused of being a nerd.

@Sean de: You would rather be called crazy than a nerd? How about a crazy nerd?!

Ha! I misinterpreted "certifiable."

OK, just for Paulo, here's the single-question $0 certification test: prove that you love logical indexing as much as I do.

Your wish is our command. (A command that may result in an "undefined function or variable" error, perhaps...)

Seriously, though: those that need to know about this now do :)

I do love logical indexing and use it whenever I can :) but it's impossible to love it as much as you, you are a master of logical indexing!

Thanks for supporting our request and lets hope that it does happen soon.

I'll give a fun example of logical indexing from my work yesterday. I have an nx3 matrix and I needed to find the maximum absolute value in each row and its index. I then needed to accumulate these into 6 bins: columns 1-3 where the maximum absolute is positive and the other and columns 1-3 where max(abs) was negative. Instead of using ind2sub with the row index and the winning column to check the sign, I used these lines which involve plenty of your favorite thing Matt:

[~,idx_mx] = max(abs(posneg),[],2);%abs max will be equal to min if negative
[~,idx_mn] = min(posneg,[],2);
lox(ii,[3 1 5]) = accumarray(idx_mx(idx_mx==idx_mn),1,[3 1]).';
lox(ii,[4 2 6]) = accumarray(idx_mx(idx_mx~=idx_mn),1,[3 1]).';

Epic win with logical indexing over two calls to sub2ind/sign!

Matt, seeing as you passed up a lovely chance to use logical indexing, I'll be expecting my certificate soon ;-)

You can (and, indeed, already do) have all the certificates we currently offer! For FREE! What a bargain.

Answer 3

Mathworks certify that you complete their courses. http://www.mathworks.com/services/training/policies/faq.html

You can request the brochure at http://www.mathworks.com/services/training/req_brochure.html

However, if you are looking for an exam structure similar to Java certification I am not aware of any, apart from being part of university courses.
