BrainShare Preparations and an Article Highlight

Filed under: certification — Jim Henderson @ 0:17

It’s been a little bit since I’ve written something new here – I’ve not forgotten, but just been busy preparing for BrainShare and my annual Novell Instructor Summit. There’s been more to do than I could have imagined a year ago; I’ve got a track of 10 instructor sessions being run (including IPEs for those who want to become instructors – it’s not too late for attendees to register for CNI281 and CNI380 in order to participate)

I did want to highlight something, though – I was contacted by Allan Hoffman over at monster.com after he’d read some of my thoughts here; he was interested in my thoughts about the value of certification. I wrote a fairly long response to his inquiry, which I will repost here after BrainShare is completed.

Allan’s article also talks about a recent Foote Partners survey which talks about IT skills pay and the tie to certification. It’s very good reading, and I’d recommend it to anyone interested in pursuing certification.
