I would say on the technical and project management side, experience is

always valuable and its usefulness never fades. While I don't have much

experience of other new media related qualifications, purely techy stuff

such as Microsoft Certification can have built in expiry and a certificate

for a two versions old operating system loses its appeal after a while

anyway ;O)


What I tend to look for is enthusiasm, then experience, followed by what

clients they have worked with. Qualifications are not high on my list.

Having said that, I have heard that Unis have started running new media

specific courses, anybody any experience of these? Any good?
