ACITP - VB.Net Qualification

[Sheppard]

Has anyone here joined or looked at joining the ACITP (Association of Certified IT Professioanls) ?

I have just about finished a course with the Learning Library which I thought was a pretty good distant learning course. Now that I have finished I am to take an exam with the ACITP which on completion would give me membership. Trouble is, it costs about 50 per year to join.

Apparently it gives you letters after your name. Do you think this is a good org to join? Would employers recognise this qualification as I am not currently a VB Developer but would like to be? Or should I look at studying for MCAD ?

Any info - good or bad would be most welcome.

Well being part of the community gives you some advantages, like help from other guys (just like Extreme Forums), so yes I think will be a good idea for you to join it
See you there

Thats true, but extreme forum has so far given me all the help I need. There are so many pros here that are very helpful, besides, I dont know if the ACITP offer any services like this at all. I think its just a professional body to highlight peoples skills.

Hopefully someone out there has joined and will let me know of the benefits.

Cheers for the input.
