With the closing of NetAcad, instructors lost the ability to request CCAI certification as it is being replaced with Recognition program.

I believe the two can co-exist.

I propose that CCAI should be reinstated as a valid certification because it represents a status for all instructors, regardless of their success in the field, as all instructors that are eligible for CCAI have, at least, valid CCNA and at least one semester of teaching experience, which, in my perspective, is fairly enough to reward them.

Recognition program should still operate and award best instructors (best of the best), but it should be implemented independently of CCAI, not as a replacement because the two do not exactly co-relate.

Thank you!
