I've heard of stuff like this but never took them seriously.

i saw something about it recently, i didnt take it seriously, and ESPECIALLY not for the price, there is no way im paying anything for a peice of paper with my name on it to say i know what im doing, ive spent too many years working on the damn things to think i need something like this to "validate" my abilities, if someone doesnt want my help cause i dont have a "certificate" i didnt want to help him anyways :)

besides they teach the basic class with a piranah.. what possible good could learing all about a PMI anything serve you on the field of today?

Ive been planning on going for about a year and a half now but I could never manage to save up the 2k it would require me.

I already know alot, but I'd like to be certified just to say I am.

2k?!?
I looked at one of the classes, and it was only 100 bucks. are they different prices?

edit: oh wow. wayyyy over priced. yeah 2k for 2 weeks of classes. I think ill wing any repair I need to make. I doubt they go over aka problems anyway.

I went to an official Autococker tech class once(not taught by this group but the same type of thing), it was OK but frankly not worth the money.

[A-Tach-One]

ouch 2k? Damn, pti classes or some more AGD/AKA goodness? :D

I dunno, I just can't seem to take this serious.

[ElPanda]

yeah the classes alone just to get the master certification as well as what it would cost in travel and hotel is easily over 2k

[Cunha]

Its just a joke and until paintball itself is more of a legitimate "sport" there will never be any real official certification that means anything.
