School was never really my favorite activity so the idea of taking tests and getting certifications wasn’t totally appealing although I think in these days they are definitely necessary.

Three of my fellow co-workers and myself attended two days of sessions for the Justice Information Exchange Model (JIEM) certification.  The methodology and tool were not difficult to learn and the exam was a little tricky; not hard, just a little tricky.  It is definitely exciting to have some extra credentials especially as it applies directly to work I do everyday.

A big benefit of sending four of us is that we’ve all been exposed to this same methodology and tool which brings new perspective on how to apply it.

Congratulations to the three (if you had blogs I’d link you…) who passed!
