Why Get Certified

You may be wondering what benefit certification has to you. Firstly, many careers require you become certified prior to finding work. For jobs that do not require that you earn a certification, getting certified will still demonstrate your knowledge and dedication to go the extra mile.

Getting certified generally equates to a higher salary. Jobs that make it necessary for you to have a professional certification tend to pay more than jobs that don't since the certification process proves your competence. Many employers reward the fact that you've proven yourself in your field of expertise.

When you work with another person or in a group, your certification shows your co-workers your skill set and where your range of knowledge is. This can benefit you because your co-workers may seek advice or delegate certain tasks to you based on your realm of expertise.

In some instances, having a professional license will help you obtain a job. For example, if you and another person are competing for a job, and you have a certification and they don't, you may be selected for the job for that reason. On the contrary, if the other person has the certification and you don't, you may lose out on the job.

Another reason to get certified is personal fulfillment. By obtaining professional licensure, you will have something to be proud of. You'll have proof of your hard work.

There are numerous reasons to obtain a career-related certification. Not only will you make yourself a better candidate for job positions, a certificate can lead to promotions, better pay and more respect. People will feel more comfortable working with you because your abilities have been confirmed, and you'll feel more confident in yourself.
