Lately on the ANG List several people have discussed certification and its value. I could not resist writing about it, so I posted the following note on the ANG List and decided to post it here too.

Comments on Certification
Although I am certified by EGA, I do not know whether this has helped me with teaching jobs, either when I started or now that I have been teaching for a long time.
I can think of half a dozen needlework teachers whose wonderful classes and beautiful projects made them stand out as the icons of the age. As I look back on it, some were certified, some weren't. I don't think it mattered. The content and presentation were what mattered.
More important, as I look back, I think of Newton's concept of standing on the shoulders of giants. More important to consider the legacy some of these legendary teachers left us than to fuss about certification.

I agree with Zeena, I don't care if the teacher has a certification. I am usually so happy to be taking a class, and I have learned in every class something. I also say Amen to absolutely loving every design Gay Ann has done. I just finished redwork kitty and it was so much fun. I am so glad she is giving us non-travelers a chance to stitch her designs.
