Training & Certification History

Proof of a Lifetime Learner!

I have attempted to find all the training courses and certifications I have taken in the last 30+ years. I am sure this is not 100% but it does provide evidence of a lifetime learning!

I love data and everything it can do to inform, excite and educate all of us.

certification <- read.csv('./cert.csv')
courses <- read.csv('./courses.csv')

certTabl <- certification %>% group_by(Year) %>%  gt() %>% 
  tab_header(title = md("**Certification History**")) %>% 
  fmt_date(columns = Date, date_style = 5) %>% 
  cols_label(Date = 'Date Awarded', Training.Company = "Training Company", Certification.Evidence = 'Certification Proof') %>% 
  cols_align(align = 'left', columns = where(is.factor)) %>% 
  gt_highlight_rows(rows = c(6, 11, 14, 21), font_weight = 'normal', fill = '#5F9EA0') %>% 
  tab_options(column_labels.background.color = "black", row_group.background.color = 'grey', 
              table.width = pct(100), table.font.size = 10, heading.title.font.size = 16,
              column_labels.font.size = 12, column_labels.font.weight = "bold", row_group.font.weight = "bold") %>% 
  tab_footnote(html("<font color = '#5F9EA0'> <strong>Less technical certifications but still critical to design & manage complex projects and products.</strong></font>")) %>% 
  cols_width(Certification ~ px(300))
