*Nieuwe* Desktop Entry Certification en andere Certificaten

Question

<\/HEAD>Een recent artikel over GIS Assessments en Certification verscheen net in de online versie van Directions Magazine: Een gedurfde nieuwe wereld van GIS Assessment.<\/A><\/P><\/P> Op professioneel niveau zie ik deze als geldige maatstaven voor kennisverwerving en technologische begrip. Op persoonlijk vlak heb ik me vaak afgevraagd over de geldigheid van de certification - vooral gezien de steeds veranderende technologie. Gezien het aantal mensen met GISP achter hun naam (ik ben niet inbegrepen in dat aantal), ben ik benieuwd wat anderen denken over het groeiende aantal technische en professionele certificeringen.<\/P><\/BODY><\/HTML>

Thomas,

This is a very common question and something I think every prospective candidate weighs as they make the decision to become certified. I think you have identified the key though - there is a growing number of certifications available to professionals.  This growth is a result of an identified need in a constantly growing workforce to allow for knowledge and experience to be easily validated.  More employers are looking to certifications to identify qualified candidates as they build their teams.  Individuals are looking for opportunities to differentiate themselves within their existing organization or in the quest for new opportunities. Certification, technical or professional, allows for both groups to .  Ultimately the individual will need to determine if certification is the right choice for them.  I'd encourage you to join the Esri Technical Certification LinkedIn group as there is a regular conversation there with folks asking similar questions.
