There is site for certification, but I don't remember the URL. It has a few
sample questions.

>Anybody out there who is certified?

I am certified for RPG

>How did you do it?

Scheduled and took the test

The test was not difficult and I did not study for it. Experience is the
best
teacher. One word of warning - don't rush through the test. Read each
question carefully. Many of the answers are similar, so if you skim through,
you can miss the sultleties and select the less appropriate choice. All
versions of RPG are represented. This includes RPG2, RPG3 & RPG/ILE.
My experience in RPG2 is light, but I made up for it in RPG3 & RPG/ILE.
