I'll agree that some certifications are bunk, but I disagree with you about PMP. The trick with any certification though is that those with them perform better if their supervisors either understand the certification or hold it themselves. It's the whole accountability issue and has very little to do with the certification itself. -- Bill Swallow HATT List Owner WWP-Users List Owner Senior Member STC, TechValley Chapter STC Single-Sourcing SIG Manager http://techcommdood.blogspot.com ______________________________________________ Author Help files and create printed documentation with Doc-To-Help.
