Does anyone know that Sydney exam center is closed or not ?

Thanks Mike for the update.
Has anyone managed to book a date in Sydney at all? Please broadcast if you have.
I guess Cisco may have a backdoor system, where they can “busyout” for a certain period or book internally in advance (e.g. for their staff) before any leftover slots show up publicly. Asking us to check their website regularly while they know none is available for at least a few more months is unacceptably misleading.
It’s just a waste of time to check it everyday, unless Cisco really lets us know when the dates may be available for public.
