I think that the Craig Chee/Sarah Maisel is just online lessons. The certification is just a validation so that the student knows that they have learned something. Haha, that way they can show people their certification framed on the wall instead of actually playing their ukulele if they want people to appreciate their achievement. That was snarky, wasn't it?

I am good with structure. But I get along best with structure that I have created for myself. I find it very difficult to march to someone else's drum beat. I think that over the years I've built a good structure to follow and so far it is leading me in the direction that I want to go.
I see some sense in the certification business as a means of motivation for some folks who respond well to that sort of "carrot". I just don't, so it wouldn't work for me.
I think that you make a good point. At a professional level those certifications could be more meaningful. I guess that my question would be when that level is reached? On thing, I wonder how closely people look at the qualifications of ukulele instructors when they are looking for one. I know that where I live ukulele instructors are nonexistent. Pretty much someone sees someone else playing a ukulele and they are automatically assumed to be potential instructor material. I know that from my own experience. I've had many people ask me to give them lessons without any thought to my abilities to teach. Lucky for them I know that I am not qualified. I would imagine that in a competitive market where there are more people giving lessons, there would be more attention to their qualifications. Along those same lines, if one wants to be an instructor, connecting themselves to someone more recognizable in the ukulele world could be beneficial. No one has heard of rllink as a ukulele virtuoso, but someone new to ukuleles will probably become familiar James Hill fairly quickly. Being a James Hill certified instructor would allow one to ride on his name and set them apart from those who may not be affiliated with anyone recognizable.
