Dear Lisiane, There's a somewhat difficult problem that needs to be addressed, in order to make the idea work: how to measure "points" properly?
PMP method is flawed. Under current specs, watching two lectures give you exactly the same number of "points" as if you wrote a book in Project Management. Exams are far simpler. I still believe that a smaller exam carrying a lower price will do the job. Not that I'll be happy being forced to take an exam just to _keep_ my current status, but this is a sistematically simple solution. On 5/2/07, Lisiane Sztoltz Teixeira <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi guys: I think recertification is not the best way, just because I think won't aggregate nothing to the certificate professional. One idea: construct a partners network for the professionals so they ahve to achieve a number of "points" in a certain period. For example: PMP (Project Management Professional) doesn't demand the re-certification - instead of this, the professional has to accomplished 60 "points" during 3 years, that can be accomplished through formal training, volunteering work, giving classes (teachers), mentoring and many other ways. I dont know, but seems that fits well here :) I hope that I explained well!
