WAA Knowledge Test, A Call to Arms
So I was critical and to be fair the WAA listened at the emetrics summit in London. Specifically thanks go out to Jim Sterne, Aurelie Pols, Stephane Hamel, Vicky Brock and Jim Novo whom aired their points and we eventually came to an agreement that a knowledge test should and will be created. This will be free (or very low cost) to WAA members and handled online. It will be based on the current WAA knowledge document and we can then look at translations for different languages etc.
It’s not a full blown certification, that’s what the WAA certification is for, but I’m hoping we can create something that thoroughly tests the knowledge required of an analyst to solve problems and produce actionable information. If we succeed which I am sure we will we will have a test that allows you as an analyst to determine if you have the knowledge required to take certification later if you so desire.
So the point of this post is quite simple. Who wants to help? If so drop me a line, tweet me, call me (+358 50 343 5159), comment below or send a carrier pigeon with your details tied to it’s foot and let me know how you can help.
