i assume, but have zero actual knowledge/experience, that certification
courses/programs actually cover all the corners and minutiae of a subject
such as is-is. so you come out knowing all the options and details, 42%
of which you will use; or maybe 24% if you are parsimonious.
while i no longer have spare room in my head for a lot of stuff i will
not use, having some clue about what's outside my current practice zone
would be useful. if i was young and had spare brain cells and time, i
might read through the course ware and do some playing in the lab. but
you can't move packets on pieces of paper.
