Certification badge on SAS Communities forum?

Are there Certification badges for the SAS Communities forum? If not, would there be benefit to having them? I think it could be nice to see what certification(s) people who answer questions have.

I am not afraid to say that I have no certifications.

Hi @paulkaefer,

I think there are no badges available in the communities, but you can always give a look in the official directory of SAS professionals or LinkedIn 🙂

While on one hand I think that experience and good answers prevail over an specific certification, I agree with you that this option it would be a good to have, since it would allow to give some basic proffesional background from your peers.

I would suggest you to include this idea in the SAS Ballot ideas! 🙂

Hi @paulkaefer, we like that idea too and have been waiting for a tweak in our platform that would make it feasible. Meanwhile, as @JuanS_OCS said, suggest it via the SASware Ballot and encourage others to upvote it.
