We unpack which certifications actually change pay, trust, and opportunity, and we cut through hype around vendor badges, resume padding, and guaranteed outcomes. Along the way we map real paths from field to office, share RCDD study strategy, and highlight future-focused certs worth the effort.

• tech hiccups, conference updates, community shout‑outs
• acronym challenge: PBB defined as primary bonding busbar
• why certifications matter when paired with standards
• RCDD value, eligibility paths, and TDMM as a foundation
• field design without the estimator title
• vendor certifications: stacking, lock‑in, and hiring signals
• best early certs for installers and why BICSI Technician has teeth
• experience versus credentials and how managers weigh both
• moving from field to office via PM, design, or safety
• future‑facing areas: data centers, PoE, fault‑managed power, wireless, building automation
• after RCDD: OSP before DCDC for most paths
• smarter bidding and avoiding crowded bid lists

Huge announcement, by the way. Remember, knowledge is power.
