Greetings colleagues. To further my career "credentials" (and +20 year experience) as a product safety engineer I plan on taking the iNARTE PS certification test and thus have a couple questions.
1.) Do you feel being iNARTE certified is beneficial to you and your career? Your employer? If not what alternates do you suggest? 2.) The iNARTE certification suggests the books referenced below. If you were to pick two, which ones would be best for the test? Most useful in the future?
