What certifications do you hold?

Hello,
I am curious to certifications other paramedics have out there. I'm referring to certifications such as neonatal resuscitation program, ACLS, PALS, etc.

Alphabet soup course such as acls barely count.
Personally I hold instructor cards in PALS, CPR, ACLS, PHTLS, and AMLS. As well as provider cards in STABLE, NRP, EPC, and board certifications of C-NPT, FPC. Oh plus CCEMTP.

OK thank you for your response. I should probably elaborate as well. I am curious what other certifications such as hazmat, osha, huet training for a flight medic and there is probably a bunch of other ones that are not coming to mind right now.

I held no certificates, and do not plan to have any. They are expensive, have no value whatsoever, and expire after a while. Noone even cares about them here.

I wonder how does the situation look abroad. It seems that majority of users here are from the USA, and some of you have a lot of certificates. Is it compulsory for you to have them? Does your employee sponsor you them?
