After two years they wanted me to refresh my course and pay again. 100 bucks I think, can&#8217;t remember. Why would I? I mean, wtf could I gain by refreshing my certificate? Imagine your university asking you to refresh and offering a short refresher for only 1000 bucks. Nuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is why:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>1. Life long learning is about expanding my knowledge, not about paying for keeping the status quo. There are so many other fascinating things I&#8217;d rather learn on top instead of refreshing one certificate over and over again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2. The content of the training was so self-explanatory, that I don&#8217;t need a refresher in a whole lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3. Certificates should be issued for really heavy stuff like &#8218;welding under water at night&#8216; or &#8218;teaching blind people which mushrooms they can eat&#8216;. A certificate for &#8217;scrum mastering&#8216; or &#8218;product owning&#8216; seems a little excessive to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So I&#8217;m out. Please leave a comment if you can prove me wrong.
