Professional Certifications

[[An...]]

Hi all, 

I have been thinking about getting a GD&T certification, as the majority of my knowledge has come from on the job training. Some classroom knowledge, but mostly just asking questions and learning as much as possible. I think that both classroom theory and real-world application are useful and I am pretty well lacking in one of the two.

My thinking is that a certification would fill holes in my knowledge base and give me something to point to for either my current or a future employer to say "these people agree that I know what I am talking about". Specifically, I have been considering the GDTP Technologist Certificate, seen here.

Do any of y'all have opinions, either on this certification or other certifications that are available?

Thanks!
