Also, unlike "other" professional organizations, AACE has made our equivalent of PMI's PMBOK Guide on line for anyone to download at no cost. http://www.aacei.org/tcm/ And unlike some other professional organizations who tout "average" ("used on most projects, most of the time") practices, AACE actually has published "Recommended (Best) Practices"(RP's). Subtle but important differences. And unlike other professional organiztions that charge for EVERYTHING, AACE makes our RP's available for free download as well. http://www.aacei.org/technical/rp.shtml Bottom line- do not confuse "size" with the quality of the content nor "marketing hype" with the respect and integrity of the credentials. http://www.aacei.org/certification/ "Bigger" is not always "better".

In many cases, an organization will want to have multiple PMs assessed, and then we can have the specific assessors sign an NDA, and we can even make arrangements to have all of the documentation stay on-site. In an extreme case, we might be able to process documents that were redacted as long as there was adequate evidence that the documents were associated with the project that the candidate managed.

Do you find that most companies are OK with someone submitting documents and artifacts as evidence? At my last company all of the project artifacts were controlled as proprietary, and now I work for a government contractor where an NDA is required before access can be granted. How does the process normally work with these considerations? I love the idea of a competence-based certification, Bill.
