Judy says,:
 
<<And, in an  evidence-based 
profession, where is the evidence that one multiple choice  exam that can 
take  credentials away in a hearbeat, is a better way to  establish 
competency 
than  actual observation, practicums, and/or  CERPS, even followed by 
questions  
submitted by choice? No one is  saying we should not be expected to 
recertify,  
it's just the method  that I believe needs work.>>


 
May I politely suggest to each  of you that has difficulty with the way the 
exam is administered, CERPs are  awarded, the qualifications needed to sit for 
the exam, etc etc etc -- that you  volunteer to sit on the board of the IBLCE 
so that you can offer your  suggestions in the right venue.
 
Complaining about how the IBLCE  works (or doesn't) is all well and good, but 
please, please offer your services  to the board so that you can help them 
get it right.
 
This is not directed just at  Judy or at any other one person -- it is 
directed at all of you amazing women  out there who have wonderful ideas and 
suggestions but do not go any farther  than putting them on Lactnet.  
 
And yes, I've served both on  the board and the exam committee and it was an 
incredibly wonderful  experience.
