Technology Certifications in the Arts

http://www.kqed.org/quest/blog/2011/04/05/gaffta-offers-creative-technology-certification-for-artists/

Gray Area Foundation for the Arts (GAFFTA) is offering certifications in Creative Technology Studies to designers and artists. The four categories are: Sound Emphasis, Visual Emphasis, Physical Interaction and Web Emphasis.

This is a fantastic idea! Many people in the arts have not been exposed to some of these key areas of technology. The Certificate is an excellent alternative to spending a fortune on college courses. I think once the program is accredited, people will find an increased value in their certification.
