Experience Over Certificates? Why Not Have Both?
Recently, I proudly added the ITIL Master Certificate to my Propath Portfolio Director Certificate. Yes, I’m now officially a walking, talking acronym! But amidst the celebration, I couldn’t help but notice the growing criticism about the commodification of knowledge through the training industry. Many argue that real-world experience is far more valuable than a wall full of certificates. While I get where they’re coming from, I believe the best approach is to balance both experience and certifications.
