[Asterisk-Dev] RE: [Asterisk-biz] Asterisk training andcertification :: AstriconTraining

[Daniel Pocock]

I've never been certified on anything, except my uni degree and my 
amateur radio license.  In the case of the uni degree, I was already 
contracting 6 years before I got that.

So I think this whole certification stuff is 'win-win-win' for Asterisk 
and us.

Those of us who know our stuff anyway are going to 'win' regardless.

And those who don't are going to 'win' because they now have a great 
opportunity to learn, and a reward (certification) for doing so (thanks 
to Digium).

It will be great publicity for Asterisk when lot's of people start 
putting it on their CV's.

Just a suggestion - why don't we all ring up a few recruitment firms and 
say 'I need a contracter who's Asterisk certified, ASAP' - they will all 
go and post it on Monster, etc, which is more publicity for Asterisk and 
will create more demand for the certificate.
