[Trainer-talk] Access Technology Institute

[Nusbaum, Christopher]

All:

I am a high school student who is interested in going into the AT training field. It seems from the discussion here that there are many certifications to choose from for people in our field. Is there one which is any more respected than the rest by employers? Which certification do you think I should pursue?

Hi. AS others have said, I don't know of any employers that require this certification, but it certainly does not hurt to have in your toolbox and list of certifications. I know a few people that have this certification and I can tell that they are certified due to the high quality of their training. I would think that you could use this as a selling point to potential employers, after you have obtained the certification of course.

Best regards,
Wayne Merritt
