Last week, during a meeting, an interesting point was raised: “Should Instructional Designers be required to obtain certificates? If so, which ones?”
The arguments for were:
System Admins have to have them.
Help Desk officials have to have them.
Web designers are being required to have them.
If we’re writing the material that they, and other people outside of IT, use for manuals and training, should we be certified as well?
Arguments against:
We can all write.
We have editors.
Transferable skills.
Any comments would be appriciated :).
Thanks
