Hi all,
I'm glad to let you know that I've successfully completed the IBM SOA Associate Certification (IBM SOA 669).
This forum was helpful. I'm very much thankful to this forum members.
I took 2-3 weeks time to prepare but actually depends upon the person's current SOA understanding and exposure. I've gone thru the sample
test too.
Preparation material:
1. SOA fundamentals in a nutshell (available in the ibm site, google for it)
2. Smart SOA Technology & Practice (

3. IBM red books on Governance & Management (ch: 1,2,3), Registry & Repository (ch: 1,2,5) Security (ch: 1,2)
4. Some of the web resources mentioned in the IBM SOA 669's certification URL
Yahoo group on IBM SOA is also very much helpful.
Thanks
