Useful Certifications?

Numbers Game
I am thinking about taking advantage of the education reimbursement offered by my employer. Unlike previous employers, this one doesn't limit it to degreed schooling but rather allows any sort of training or classes that are relevant to the job (with company approval). So my question is; which pieces of paper have you picked up over the years that have benefitted you the most, either on paper or in practice, or preferably both? Some things that I'm considering so far:
  • Hexagon level 2 & 3 training (thus far I've only done level 1)
  • GD & T and advanced math classes at the community college, possibly leading up to a certificate in drafting (because you can never have too much GD & T knowledge)
  • ASQ certifications of some sort
So far, the only feathers that I have in my cap are advanced certificates in machine tool & welding and a shiny piece of paper from Hexagon for level 1 completion. At this point in life and in my career I feel that a degree would be a waste of time. Three English classes, sociology, biology, etc. aren't gonna make me a better quality inspector.

  • Get all of your h-e-x-a-g-o-o-n certs that you can. Wow those schmucks blocked that word lmao.

    I'd also recommend ASQ's "Mechanical Inspector" as well as "Quality Engineer".

    Go straight for the jugular and get them to pay for an engineering degree, too. Those classes won't make you a better inspector. You're right. For the most part college is BS. But that certificate is a ticket to a better job interview. I'd recommend getting that degree. At least an associates & so many more doors will be open.
