[Trainer-Talk] certification question

[Mason, Amy]

I don't know about the certification at this time, but I have a colleague who has joined IAAP and finds its content and forums invaluable for furthering his knowledge of what is currently happening in the field, and having an outlet for making his own name known as he is able to help answer the questions of others who are not as knowledgeable as he is. As web testing is not my favorite place to play, I don't personally feel the need to be a member. I am able to find enough resources for the types of teaching and training I do concerning web accessibility without going down that technical road, but my focus has always been a little more on the basic crowd, and user experience. I think in the end it comes down to what place in that ecosystem you want to hold. If you are really going for testing or development, I'd look seriously at membership, and at least first level certification, but if you are looking at the greater, more abstract concepts, maybe it won't be as necessary.
