> What does "Gold level" mean?

Microchip has three levels of certified PIC consultants: bronze, silver, and
gold.  A year or two ago there were around 350 PIC consultants worldwide,
and 35-50 of them were gold.  I'm sure the numbers have gone up since then.
I also heard that the fraction of gold was getting larger, and that they
might raise the bar a bit as a result.

The rating is based on activity with a scoring system I don't fully
understand.  We ended up with the highest score of all consultants in the
2004 program year.  This year at Masters I didn't hear anything about how we
did relative to the others for the 2005 program year other than we were
solidly in the gold catagory.  In the end the level is only a rough
indicator of experience to customers.
