JT - I agree with you regarding having a Validation certification. I think it would be great to have one, and valuable in a number of regulated industries.

I like this!  A validation certificate would be beneficial.  A couple of us on the Leadership Team have discussed offering mini-certifications through the Medical Device Division.  Validation, specific to design requirements, would be pertinent to our industry.  A process validation certificate could be useful across most industries.  Hmmm.

Absolutely - the "Validation" could be an overarching concept to include Equipment, Process, Software, Utilities etc.
