TAG, I would suggest to look up the last dozen or so steel erectors that have done anything on projects you've been involved with, and see if they're certified. Possibly call some up and see what they think about the program. Consider reviewing the application for certification and see what's really involved as well.
I've been involved with a couple of certification/listing type programs (not ASCE) and was not overly impressed. One problem is that such programs are primarily paper-oriented. If you have good paper-shufflers and poor field people, you'll do great. If you have poor paper-shufflers and great field people, you won't. If you do Corps of Engineer work and have more office workers than field workers, then you're probably all set up for all kinds of certifications, but you simply won't be competitive on commercial work. So don't just assume that a good-sounding certification is a good thing, do some checking, see if it matches up to local contractors and practices.
