CERTIFICATIONS
Why certify ?
Many of us work in jobs that did not exist when we started!
Today more than ever before, continuous improvement and adjournment is vital for professionals to adequately respond to the challenges faced by their companies, clients and the wider community. Continuous improvement can take various forms from self-paced to face to face training, coaching or mentoring on the job, professional membership, public events and conferences, all of which support professional developments.
Continuous development is a never-ending process and is lifelong objective; however, there are professional milestones that can and need to be achieved to acquire wider recognition and a sense of self-fulfilment. In this context, Professional Certification, internationally recognised by peer professionals and practitioners as well as governments, private and public companies around the world, is a guarantee that the certified person has achieved those professional goals and is actively working to increase their personal capabilities, skills and knowledge.
