>> I think that certification is a good for those new to the industry. However, once someone has experience (i.e. 25-100 signings for example), there would no longer be a need for that. << ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The problem that I see with this kind of thinking is that, people think of certification as some form of marketing tool. Certification should stand for a lot more than what it presently does. This seems to say, get certified so that you can prove to companies that you know what you're doing. Then once you've gotten a few signings under your belt, and have been in the business for a while, you don't need to be certified. It's not the way CPAs and other professionals view certification.
The problem with the current certification process is that, it doesn't really mean anything.
I had a chance to view the current results of the poll. While the numbers aren't that great yet, the graph said a lot about what certification should mean. I might even add another question to the poll, possibly a couple more, that are related.
