No, the CPACC is easier than the others, and more general.

I'm looking to get IAAP certified this year. I tend to see more people on LinkedIn with the CPACC (Certified Professional in Accessibility Core
Competencies) certification than the WAS (Web Accessibility Specialist) certification. Is the CPACC more generally recognized and, therefore, preferred? We have many large universities as partners and having a certification to attest that skill set would be good when talking to prospective partners.

Thanks,
Mike
