OK, from what I read from the link on the front page of the STC site
that announces the certification business case approval, the fee for
the application to get certified is going to be comparable to other
certifying bodies' fees. Essentially, I have to pay to play.
I am not part of the STC because I don't have the extra money around
to pay the already pretty high fee for what I don't get (I live quite
far from an active chapter...at least an hour drive, if not more). I
know how much it costs to get a PMP certification (again, why I don't
have it). So, for those of us who don't have that extra money
around....this isn't looking really tasty. I would not mind getting
certified at all...if it didn't cost an arm, leg, and spleen and if
you didn't have to cough up the body parts every 3 years. Cost, to
me, is a HUGE factor. And I'd want a guarantee of the value of it if
I am going to pay that high cost....
