More likely the recruiter just wanted to know what other firms' policies were. It's not like that information is published somewhere. Recruiters are very concerned about relative competitiveness with regard to getting and keeping employees. Prospects are a great source of information in this regard.

It's not always about you! I wouldn't give a second thought to your answer.
 
I paid for it all out of pocket. It is expensive, but no reason not to take the tests because your employer will not pay the fees.

Currently I see it as an investmetn in myself. I could take that $2000 or so and put it in savings or spend it on "stuff", but once I get those three little letters it will all be worth it.
 
Got an university scholarship for Level-I that covered almost all my expenses. For Level-II, I'll have to shell out everything.
 
Employer pays 50% with no strings attached and adds the other 50% when I show them a Pass.

Hopefully tomorrow..
