So is becoming an MCP really that easy nowadays or was the little girl just well trained?

Well, my dog just got the certification. But she's 4 1/2 dog years which is the equivalent of about 30 human years. So I guess this girl is more impressive.

Although my cat is going for hers and she's under 2 cat years. Now THAT would be a feat :-)

Or better, yet, paws!

I know, I know. My jokes are lame.

Ouch. But seriously, I think this is due to the MCP stuff being just memorization.

Yeah, and to get the MCP you just have to pass one test that qualifies.

Technically you only have to pass one exam to be a CA (our CPA) as well but it's considered one of the toughest certification processes around. It really depends what they're testing you on. If it's memorization like Sine says, then yeah, it's easy
