Certification
The certification of specified skills, knowledge and experience establishes a common, credible base for judging and promoting the professional competence of practitioners in a particular field towards professionals, employers and customers. Empirical studies suggest that certification enhances the employability and career advancement of the individual practitioner or employee. It also assists employers and consumers alike in making informed decisions about qualified personnel and providers.
