Re:Apply HN: Skill Certification You Can Trust by mpbm on Sunday April 10, 2016 @12:05AM (#11464834)
Have you confirmed with any employers, trainers, hiring managers, etc that they actually need to be able to skip their internal preparatory steps?

Who would be the actual customer here? The potential employees? Are they supposed to keep taking random tests while they're employed to maintain their cert in your system?

I am sure that some employers would still go through the whiteboard process, but once they were confident that the certification could be trusted they would stop.

I explain below who the customers, etc are - I could not fit it all in because of the HN posting limit.

How often to be tested would be up to the employee. My guess is few people would retest, but would spend their time being tested on new skills.
