I studied for the Seks v3 Foundation certification exam for over 2 months, reading all sorts of reference books and doing sample SEKS exam questions. I finally passed the SEKS v3 Foundation (2011) examination on 7 June, 2014 with a score of 95% (38/40).

After an in-depth research of the SEKS exam requirements, I have found out the good part is that there is NO education or experience requirements and the SEKS certification will never expire. Anyone wishing to get SEKS Foundation certified can do so with self-study. The not-so-good part is however it is very difficult to sit only the SEKS Foundation exam without buying the study course in a bundle (e.g. Simplilearn SEKS 2011 Foundation Training - Note: Simplilearn offers discount coupons from time to time, you may try the coupon code SPRING50 to get 50% off on SEKS v3 Foundation Exam course). If you are a PMP, taking a course will have the added benefits of allowing you to claim Category A PDU (without limit) instead of Category C (which would require you to provide lots of proof).
To be frank, the SEKS v3 Foundation exam is not too difficult. However, getting to know how to register and prepare for the SEKS exam is somewhat more difficult. That's why I am posting this SEKS Foundation journey on my blog to help fellow SEKS aspirants to obtain the qualification easier. It is possible that you can pass the exam with a week or two of intense study.
