| Professional Credit Certification The Key to Your Future What is certification? Professional certification is a means of verifying, through a third party, your undergraduate and graduate education, work experience, continuing education efforts, published works, speaking engagements, and involvement in professional organizations. What is the purpose of certification? Certification enables you to make your clients, customers, colleagues, employers and others with whom you do business aware of the knowledge and skill you have invested in your career in the credit industry. The certification designation behind your name, on your letterhead and on the certificate displayed on your wall signifies your expertise in your profession. When someone asks what the certificate or the designation means, you can then tell them about your educational background, work experience, continuing education pursuits, involvement in professional organizations, and leadership skills.
