Is It Legit?

Yesterday I talked about accreditation and finding reputable/legitimate training/certification.  In some instances it is hard to validate if the offering is all that legitimate and then you will have to do some detective work.  For instance ASIS offers several certifications and is well known and respected  throughout the industry, but you may not know this.  What can you do?  Search the internet to see what people are saying, talk to people in the industry, maybe contact a local college and talk to some professors.  You want to spend your time and money wisely and at the end of the day have something of value to show for it.  I'm a BIG fan of training and certifications , you can never know everything and you want to stay informed and current.  So find something that interests you and go for it.  That said I'm going to get back on track with some certifications I've been meaning to pursue.
