Yes Glenda, I would certainly be looking at experience, sites
built/maintained, and references in addition to any formal training.

The only certification I am currently aware of is that being developed by
the UAWG/BWMDA in the UK - http://www.ua-wg.org/aas/. This is initially
intended to certify the development firm rather than the individual. There
has also been some discussion within GAWDS (http://www.gawds.org/).

I would also be interested to hear about any other schemes being hatched
around the world.

Cheers, Andrew

Is it fair to say that there is not yet any widely accepted certification in
web accessibility? That a manager assessing a job candidate's
expertise/skill level in web accessibility would need to consider
experience, any relevant courses taken and perhaps references, rather than
simply the presence or absence of certification?


Cheers,
Glenda
