Certification from my perspective is little more than a money generating pyramid. I’m just sorry I didn’t think of it myself. For KM I’d rather have a good technical writer that is able to write clear English instructions that a 5 year old can follow each and every time. A KM certification doesn’t mean you can write for the correct audience nor does it prove your competency. It just means you can pass the exam. In case I wasn't clear ... I agree 100% with you when it comes to certifying. Lisa,
