sunilwilliams If done badly, a wordpress skills certification could just an expensive waste of time. If done well then it could be an incredibly good contribution. Certainly a huge problem in the market at the moment is that anyone can claim to be a “Wordpress Expert”. But that term is so nebulous that it can be meaningless. Qualification types could help consultants and companies show their expertise, and could help customers choose which experts to work with on particular types of problems. But to do it right would take a very long time and a lot of capitalisation. There would also be issues with some younger, less resourced companies and individuals gaining such qualifications if the cost is high. If the certification gatekeeper requires fees then some talented providers could be excluded from entire marketplaces.
