Re: IAAP Certification

Apparently the first certificate exam hasn't happened yet (it's at CSUN),
so it's doubtful that anyone would be able to respond prior to that.

Speaking 100% speculatively (casting aside my own personal opinions of the
merits of such a certification in the first place), I would suspect that
any training from Deque would likely be extremely good. For one thing, they
are founding members (I think) of the IAAP, so they probably put some input
into the actual content in the exam. I suspect it would be similar to being
tutored directly from the source.

For many things, they seem to know what they're talking about when it comes
to accessibility in general, so even if it doesn't lead to a certification,
I'm sure it would still be really valuable information to have in your belt.

These considerations are based completely on speculation though. I hope the
certification works well for you.
