Element K training on BCP-221 and BCP-223

I'm a bit disapointed on Blackberry/RIM's lack of material on the new exams and lack of an update to when these will be released to Element K's training material. I've reached out and and tried to obtain a status or an ETA to be only given dates that have come and gone or a date of "Later on next year" These exams and BES 5.0 have been available for quite some time now and i dont understand thier lack of supporting thier own Certification Program. 

 

I'm extremely disappointed!

Any of the blackberry that we offer can be viewed at
      www.elementkcourseware.com.  At this time this is the only
      blackberry material that we are offering.

      Thank you,
    

    

 

   In response to your original Request:

      I was wondering if and when  couseware for Blackberry
      BCP-420 ,BCP-221 and BCP-223 would be available.

I finally received the BCP-221 book from Element K and am really disappointed in the test engine that accompanies the book. Its the same test that is on the BlackBerry certification website, which has several errors. The rest of the CD is the same material that is also on the website.

 

Hopefully the content of the book is better...

Thanx!
