Country Music Association? Personally I think it's a fad, and long overdue for a plunge in popularity.

I think it's obvious that UvU means he wants to learn about using the CMA 402 pump.

I don't think any certification is involved, but knowledge of German might come in handy for reading the instructions.

Well, I've heard of the Communications Management Association and the Centre for Muslim Affairs...

Maybe its the Chinese Milk Association. Seems like they need the help at the moment.

Actually, their user name is interesting. I didn't know Unidentified Flying Objects were against the United Service Organizations

Certified Medical Assistant.

On advantage is that's one of the many careers that I hear (from very trustworth sources--a.k.a. late night commercial runs) that you can get that degree for just 50 box-tops, solong as you complete the short online pre-screening test.

Or perhaps he meant a job at the Center for Misinformation Advancement.

Hey now! As a bona fide professional in the rendering of the twang box, I take particular offense to that comment.

I think the OP was talking about the Clapping Man's Association certification. It's a very valuable certification because without it, you're doomed to the 1's and 3's and nobody will want to be your friend. Go get 'em dude!

Unless, of course, you're clapping to a waltz, which would simultaneously be somewhat cool and very, very sad.

But I think Whirlpool is right.

Do a Chartered course instead.

Whirlpool: I'm assuming from your avatar that you're female? If not, sorry!

Ugh, I hate that expression. It's sooo cliché. I can't even walk down the street without hearing someone shouting "Cover my Mule!".

And I'm so sick of it in the officeplace, being used as an excuse for pointless repetative tasks. "I know those TPS reports seem redundant, but you should always cover your mule." Arrgh!
