However - I do think that there is personal value to going through the accreditation/certification process. If one is a go-getter, preparing, in a structured manner, for a certification exam offer some benefits such as: uncovering new knowledge areas and showing commitment to the profession. FYI: I added your blog to the Directory at ModernAnalyst.com Best regards, - Adrian Hi Maria,
