They were kind enough not to demand us to pay the price for the test they
canceled. The only reason to attend some 'advanced' classes was to qualify
for the test and that is not cheap. We also bought tickets that became
non-refundable on monday and the cancelation came on thursday ... This is for
the second time now and it's getting real boring.

I hope it is. The ocp exams were pretty easy and passing them does not say
