Ray:

My answer is similar to Doug's.  We see this as a requirement on a number of
projects.  So it is a filter that one must be able to pass.

I believe that it is misunderstood.  I have always heard that it looks to
certify someone who has been working with image capture for about one year.
Most consulting projects where the CDIA+ is a requirement are really looking
for a great deal more experience and exposure.  The fact that it does not
have any prior experience requirement may make it easier to administer, but
also easier to get.  (I contrast it with CMC, CRM, PMP, EDP, MIT, which all
have experience requirements.)

Do you remember the issue about whether the SAT tests corresponded with the
student's ability to handle college course work?

Of course, my bias may be that I took it after a number of years and
projects involving imaging, without any preparation, and passed it first
shot.  What was easy for me may be more challenging to others.

Subject: CDIA+ Certification: How has this made a difference in your career?

I am interested in how the CDIA+ certification has assisted you in your
career. Can you tell me how it has made a difference? How has it enhanced
your organizations' success? For consultants, can you tell me how this
certification has given you credibility? 

 

You may reply to me directly.
