In that particular case my thought is: Maybe, the optimum way of the employee reaching knowledge is not getting a certification. Probably that person is an autodidact with problems being criticized. Maybe that person is the one in the team with the fewest knowledge and therefore feels pressure. That might be reason for the impatience and the reason why there is resistance to studying some basics or go for a certification (which I find in many cases not very efficient when learning new stuff because mostly what you need to learn for certifications does not match what you need for actual work). Even the weakest person in a team can play an important role and contribute to the project. It is not a race of contributing many code lines. Maybe you should clear up some general attitude and mindset. -- Martin Wildam -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
