Hello,

Interesting.
I've consider4ed certification if I make assistive tech my career.
There is the Catis certification and this one.

How much does IAAPcost and has anyone attained the less technical first 
level certification?
If so, how did you study and what materials or college course work helped 
you prepare?

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.
