Free Vouchers Available for our IPv6 and RIPE Database Exams - Request by 1 March
by Gergana Petrova 22 Feb '21

22 Feb '21

Dear colleagues, Have you heard about the RIPE NCC Certified Professionals? It's our online exam certification programme. We currently offer two exam certifications - on the RIPE Database and on IPv6. The exams can be scheduled and taken online, under the supervision of a live, remote proctor at the candidate’s convenience. We have also begun working on an IPv6 security exam that will be launched later this year. The exam questions are aligned with the demands of the job market, so that our certifications test actual skills and knowledge required in the workplace. Once you take the exam, you will be able to see your results instantly, and if you are successful, you will be able to receive and display your digital badge. This digital badge is verifiable and can be shared via social media, or added to your digital CV. If this sounds interesting to you, try out the exams for yourself. If you are a member, you should have already received three voucher codes. If you cannot find them, email exams(a)ripe.net. Up until 1 March we also offer a limited number of vouchers to non-members. Write to us at exams(a)ripe.net to request free vouchers before 1 March. The issued vouchers will be valid until 31 March 2021. To assign the voucher email us your name, email, position and organisation/company. You can read more about RIPE NCC Certified Professionals here: https://www.ripe.net/support/certified-professionals Best regards, Gergana -- Gergana Petrova External Relations RIPE NCC

Hi all, The 6th edition of SEEDIG, the Internet governance event for South East Europe, took place last week online. Although not covering the full depth and length of the event, I've shared my thoughts and impressions on a few sessions online. Whether you attended or not, your thoughts and comments would be appreciated: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/gergana_petrova/seedig-2020-liveblog Next, I wanted to share with you another regional report we did - this time focusing on Central Asia. The territory is outside of SEE, but similarly covers a diverse region that rarely gets much attention in international fora: https://labs.ripe.net/Members/suzanne_taylor_muzzin/ripe-ncc-internet-count… Just as a reminder, here is a link to the SEE report we did earlier this year: https://labs.ripe.net/country-reports/southeast-europe-country-report I hope you find these useful.
