The problem we face is the breadth of the different hardware within IFIXIT. While I am more focused on answering Mac related stuff, there is the full gamut of PC's from Dell, HP, Lenovo and all of the others. Some of the basic designs hold true across all of the them but the way one repairs things can be very different do to the nature of the design of one product Vs another.
This is where the skills of a given product need to be focused on. Within BICSI we realized the skills of different operations of installing a cabling system needed different levels of skills and in some cases a prerequisite of skills needed to be obtained to then get to the next level.
Unlike BICSI we have a bigger tangle of skills needed and we don't have the support of the hardware makers. While [https://www.comptia.org|CompTIA] is a very good framework on general skills it doesn't get in the finesse of a given products repair.

To be clear here we are talking about how to validate if someone has the skills to fix a given product from a business perspective. We may also need to have levels within a given product as well, basic & advanced skills . I think it wouldn't we wise to imply someone had the skills to diagnose down to the component level because we offered an all-encompassing certificate.

This leads to the bigger question on how far we can go and if we need to join up with some other groups to build something. Then the question is how big could this get!
And lastly, are we getting off mission of IFIXIT message of reuse and recycling? Or is this the next logical direction?
