CLD Shirt - how to get a new one?

[Newt]

Having a heck of a time trying to find where I can replace my aging and tattered CLD shirts.
Phone calls to support are a dead end.

Anybody have any ideas?

I would try emailing certification@ni.com or posting in the certification forum.

Here's an idea: Get your CLA!

The same problem would apply in that case, after a time.

I only got a "congratulations" and a pdf copy of the certificate after passing the CLA back in 2015. Heck, I haven't received anything except emails and pdfs for any of the NI certifications I've done over the last 10 years. Has anyone received a t-shirt (or anything) for getting a CLD or above cert in the last decade?

Hi Michael,

several years ago there were "tokens of appreciation" for active forum members.

I still have some of them in a drawer. One time NI also sent a t-shirt, around the time of LV2009.

Nowadays even the NI Forum News seem to be updated very seldomly…

Yes, I got a polo shirt a handful of years ago. I let my certification lapse then retook the test a couple years later.

Maybe that's the way to go! 😄

UPDATE:

The official word from NI Certification is that they no longer exist. 

"Unfortunately, at this time NI has discontinued certification shirts."

Oh well.

Yes, I received a blue polo shirt for the CLD in 2014 and CLA in 2017. It's not automatic though. In the email they sent with the certification confirmation, there is just a single sentence to the effect of "if you'd like a shirt, please send us an email back with your mailing address".

It's too bad they've discontinued them, they make for an easy wardrobe choice once a week. Maybe they are updating them to be green and say NI?
