The training effect is when you train your team and then they hit a plateau. Their skill set drops off, they’re not as motivated. Who has experienced this? All of us! You say to yourself, “I don’t get it I trained them, I invested the time, what is happening?”
Why does certification result in long term mastery? Because of repetition. The needing to maintain knowledge over time raises the bar and keeps individuals motivated. Repetition and continual reinforcement is how you keep knowledge increasing over time. Certification is the difference between a "dabbler" and a "pro" or "specialist"
