Thanks, Eric! My reasoning for getting certified would be exactly that. I think I’ll do it!

Hi Tevi,

It’s definitely useful in my career. I feel it gives me additional credibility as an expert and I think it also sets a quality standard for me to strive to uphold.

Your site looks awesome. I don’t think you have too much to worry about…

Hi Eric,

It’s great you’re such a self-starter and able to learn all this without taking the courses. That said, other than proving to yourself you learned the materials, has being certified been at all useful for your career?

thanks,

Tevi

Hi Vinay,

I can’t remember the details of the test other than what I wrote about above. There are lots of details about the sections of the test on the HFI web site.

Good luck!

Good luck taking the exam! 1-2 hours of tutoring wouldn’t be effective. You have to try to figure out the study path that works best for you. It may take some time, but you can do it.

Hey Eric,

Will you be available (1-2 hour max) to mentor/guide me for cracking the CUA exam? I am having hard time coming up with the money to attend the seminar.However i have taken The Science and Art of Effective Web and Application Design around late 2000.

Thanks

Nathan,
Nope. I didn’t purchase any books by Chris Wickens. The research articles were gathered by my study partner, and I was under the impression that they were all available from libraries.
