Re: Loosing my exam fees

It's not exception for a few people....but to make it more flexible.

Well thing is that - Cisco make policy to cover themselves for their "own
convenience" without considering yours.

For genuine reason I don't see why they should not have that provision built
in the policy to cover candidate.

It was required but should have some flexibility.

I understand why they did it as nobody was getting any dates. I have written
my own perl script to get a date in way back 2008. It was hard those days to
get any date...

You can argue when lab breaks, why don't they give you the cost of your time
for next attempt? Why just come next day at your own expense and do the
exam?

Does that makes sense?

I don't see it's ethical to do it that way. If its Cisco's fault they should
pay for your time too not just the new lab coupons :).
