Hands On Performance

Hands On Performance is destined to be the new way of Certifications where in emphasis is laid on ability to apply the knowledge (and not just the knowledge itself). Basically can he "walk the talk"???

There are primarily 2 reasons for this.

1. Often as you would have seen in your work environment, theoretical knowledge is one thing, but ability to apply this knowledge is another thing. If a candidate has applied a technology in a hands on environment, demonstration of such experience is more valuable to the company rather than just the bookish knowledge of concepts. Even during your college education you would have seen greater emphasis on ability to apply the knowledge rather than knowledge itself.

2. As technologies that a company wants to use keep on changing and evolving, the amount and type of knowledge required by company keeps on changing. In this fast changing technology world, a company cannot rely on just the current technology knowledge.
