Be careful what you wish for. It has its downside because one will then become not enough...

Waiting for the day when you have to be certified the use a bathroom.
 
Should be correct for British English.
 
Nick, I gotta talk to you like a man to man right now but please don't take offense. OK?
If I was interviewing someone and he said to me "Yah, and I'm lift certified, too", I would slowly back away and in a soft calm voice, "Uh-huh. I'm sure you are son. Glad to hear that. Thank you for coming in"...

I don't mention it unless asked, I have better points on my resume, The Fact that in my senior years of High school I was an honor student, When I graduated I was an Ontario Scholar, Held an SHSM (Specialist High Skills Major), and I was awarded a check from the local ford dealer for my excellence in the Automotive trade............from there my resume only builds.............I graduated in the top of my class for Level 1 Automotive service and I've worked with the same shop since September 10th 2011.

Then there's my insanity of Restoring a certain Plymouth.
 
Training/certification is the way things are done these days.

There isn't the OJT that there used to be. You no longer apprentice or learn from the senior guys. There is no passing down of knowledge.

I understand the mindset and I'll even go so far as agree with some of it, but the trades aren't what they used to be.
 
BTW, Nick... That's not putting down what you have done by any means....

You've done well and it shows. Keep it up and you'll go places.

Maybe not in the US John, but we have Mandatory OJB, 12,000 hours before we can write our CFQ (Certificate of Qualification)...........

No, it's really different. There is much more emphasis on certification and training through outside sources.

When I got out of high school, I apprenticed as a Tool & Diemaker (quite proud of that) and what I see now as something a senior guy would sign off on (we had blue books) is now a certificate from XYZ in the guys training folder. In your case, there is still hours worked etc, and that's good.
