I'm in awe of a lot your men's knowledge. What a great treat is this contest was won by a Dnet alum. Good luck to anyone who gives this a shot.

I'm excited about it.

I don't have some vast knowledge, but I'm pretty good at taking tests. When the Mita dealer did their contest I took 3 out of 5 years. When Ikon did thier contest I got to attend the finals 2 years out of 5.

I think it will be fun. I hope everyone here will participate. There is no stigma in doing badly, you might be surprised how well you do.

=^..^=

My question is, "How are they going to handle it, if 100 techs all score a 100% on the first test?" Are they also going to go by time? And then for round two and three, "Is it open note, open book or just by memory and the seat of our pants?" Hhhhhhmmmmmmmmmm!!!!! Don't get me wrong, I'm looking forward to it.....

What are we talking about?

Kyocera is running a contest for those tech's that attend the TASKalfa traing to find the best tech in the US. There is a bulletin on KMA Connect that explains it.

I'm looking forward to it too. Can't wait to bump heads with some of yuse guys.

guys: i will see u all @ the finals.
i am looking forward to eat sushi in Japan...LOL...and also gettin to know the beautifull chics down there ...LOL...it will be a pleasure to represent DNET OVER THERE @ KYO...BY THE WAY...the winner should get his own avatar...


DUMMIETEK...watch out for power down and up troubleshooting "?" as well as network base "?"...

I'd love to see a DNET guru go all the way! Good luck to you all! I of course won't qualify... nor will any of the technicians on my team here (we're no longer a Kyocera dealer). It always amazed me how they (at Kyocera) frowned upon me and others using DNET, but then my boss got contacted the following morning by our Kyocera Regional Service Manager regarding an entry I posted here. How's he know what I'm posting on DNET if they don't use it? I also got shamed by another Tech Rep from Kyocera because he said that I use this site. Again... how's he know how much I'm using/posting on this forum if he's not on it himself? Cracks me up. I guess it's all the Political B.S. that has to take place in a large corporation. I've better be careful though, because now I AM PART OF A LARGE CORPORATION!!! I wish we could just be real and not have to play these stupid political games... well I'm running off on a tangent here. Good luck to you all again... and keep me posted on the outcome!

Dan, That's why I don't give my name or where I live under this handle if I am making any criticism of Kyocera and believe me I've got a few. I think if you are from a large corporation they would be less likely to give you a hard time. Maybe I'm wrong about that. I am with a very small company with a 20+ year relationship with Mita then Kyocera. We barely exist as far a Kyocera is concerned. I do wish everyone that is making a try for the trip the best of luck.

Dan: in my book of technical know how...u ...r...#1 your experience and knowledge around here is well respected, now regarding kyo... u know very well this people investigate everything is ashame that your old rep and kyo called your company to complaint instead of calling to say thank u for all the free support u offer here @ no cost to them for years. is funny...how kyo decides now to find out, who's the best of the best...to me is just another strategy to find future recruits to enhanced their workforce.i think ...i am gettin out of topic but your post make me angry, i can't believe this happen to u. any way dealer boses beware of kyo ur best tech might find himself @ a kyo regional office near u...

DUMMIETEK...MY SECRET I.D. is for sale on ebay...lol...

I can see from looking at the forums here that this will be a very interseting compition and i am really looking forward to meeting some of the best in this field. Good luck to all who decide to attempt.

Has anyone taken the test yet????

Were is the online test? Has anyone taken the test?

I have taken the online pretest. However we noticed at our office the prereq is classroom traing on a previous color model. A couple of techs do not have the option online for the pretest. It just does not show up in their courseware

I think you need to be Saturn trained for
it to show under your user name,
Thats what we where told in Saturn training

I'm talking about the "Best Tech In America" test. It will be available online only after you complete and pass the regional training on the TASKalpha. Yes you have to be trained on the Voyager and pass the online pre training test to attend the Alpha class. Make sure your techs have not had their KMA Connect login info changed (usually because they never accessed it or forgot their password). We have a mgr who keeps adding tech info for signing on and 3 of our techs had 3 different logins for KMA Connect. Needless to say info was all over the place and the training history was not under the proper login. Just something to look at if your having problems accessing the online pre tests.

Soooooo..... Has anyone taken the "Best Tech in America" test yet? How did you do? I heard only 7 out of over 110 in the Midwest passed the test. You need at least 80% to pass....

I heard that there is alot of networking and just weird stuff on it. like how do you get a mirror image, invert image, what color do you have to add to get another color on a monitor. Weird stuff.

I got a 88%, sweet....
