What is certification?
The purpose of any professional certification or licensing program is to provide official and public recognition of the capabilities of an individual in a professional area. Certification is not licensing or registration and does not provide legal authority to practice a profession.  Certification indicates demonstrable expertise in the most current skills and knowledge of the profession.

Why is certification important?

In today’s world of intense competition in the workplace, the need for proficiency in the principles and practices of total cost management is the concern of all businesses and companies.  Certification is verification of that proficiency.  It provides assurance that the person performing the work is qualified and up-to-date on the latest techniques and has the experience and
