Do you frame your certs, or do you hide them in a drawer?

    I framed my first couple but just keep them in those plastic sleeve things in a 3-ring binder now.

    To add to my original answer, back when I got my first few certs (more than a decade ago :/ ) I did frame a few, including getting my CNE 6 matted and framed properly, as it was by far the hardest test I'd taken at the time.

    These days, they're all in a folder in my file cabinet. CCIE will be hung proudly over desk though, and I'll likely get the numbers tattooed on my arm. :P

    They're in a storage cabinet out of sight. When I get my degree I'll probably frame it.

    I used to keep them in a binder as well as digital copies on my PC, but within the last couple of years I've constantly been asked to provide copies (both hard copy and digital scans) for work. I can never find the hard copies because my computer room looks like a tornado ran through it then backed up and ran through it again icon_lol.gif My computer is worse. I don't know what my desktop wallpaper is because of all of the files I keep on my desktop. Oh and did I mention I don't rename the files (so they're probably all named scan001, scan002, etc.) So now I have framed and hung my certs just so I can get to them quickly. icon_redface.gif

    *edit* forgot to mention that it's gotten significantly easier to hang certs. I've had several Cisco certs lapse so it's really CISSP that's on the wall nowadays. Hoping to add 1 or 2 new ones in 2016! */edit*

    At my last job, we were a very small company and it was tough to keep up our Microsoft and Cisco partnership requirements. So we framed and hung our certs as extra motivation to the junior guys working on something.

    At my current job, most everyone has what they need, so all those nicely framed certs of mine are stacked up somewhere in my lab in the basement.

    Great way to motivate others.
    The few training centers I went to also hang their instructor's certs on the wall.

    Have no need to create what has been referred to as an: "I love ME wall".

    Scattered throughout the storage areas of the house and forgotten.
