There is a need for advanced certificate recognition beyond the ATP. Most
professional groups have courses with agreed upon standards for advanced
training. These programs are not meant to be MA, MS, or PHD equivalents
yet they provide a goal for those who seek self improvement or expertise
within a narrow field. Certificates in Advanced Management come to mind.

A nationally recognized umbrella group is necessary to give such a program
creditability. It may be that the Aviation schools can play a leading role
in establishing a certificate accreditation board or association.
