They offer the TRACE course in the Mid Atlantic chapter as well. I am scheduled to attend in November. I've already paid and it was kind of pricey, but judging from what I've read here, it seems like it will be a good investment.

The price here for it is a flat $500 for the two days, exam included. Not sure what the ISA will charge once they take it over, as they appear to be doing. It was developed here (BC Canada) by Julian Dunster, about 5 years ago. Any cert is only as lucrative as you make it, I make sure to sell my services for consulting when I can, no other way to justify the expense.

$550 here, that includes exam, book, and lunch. I'm pretty sure thatJim Flott is teaching this one as well.

I bet thats due to the weak American buck, nice how that feels eh? We are so used to the other way around here its strange to get used to be on the other side of the coin, Ebay has been loving me and the 1.03 candaian buck to the US buck lately.

$500 here for all that too. Must be paying for the airline ticket

Number based risk assessments truly suck IMO.

How else can you make a simple system thats reasonably accurate?

Dont I know it, almost as bad as the one I looked at a week earlier, almost a rating of teal! I say almost though, the numbers only added up to seafoam in reality.
