Welcome Message
|
Welcome to World Certification Institute.
We are a leading global authority established since 2003 to recognize cross-national skills, competencies and professional practices that are indicative of occupational capability and derived from internationally accepted best practices.
The World Certification Institute attracts a global membership representing competent professionals and practitioners from diverse occupational backgrounds and cross-functional disciplines.
There are five individual membership categories; and the different categories provide for admission at levels that reflect skills and competencies attained. An essential criterion for individual membership is to attain a professional credential award from World Certification Institute.
The World Certification Institute awards six classes of professional credentials. All award recipients will have their names and credentials recorded in the World Register of Certified Professionals or Accredited Practitioners. More importantly, this professional credential is recognition by the world body that the individual possesses competence in the specified occupational field, and is therefore a recognized professional or practitioner within the occupational field. Surveys and anecdotal evidences have indicated that those who are awarded the professional credential report higher annual compensation than those who are not. Therefore, attaining a professional credential with the World Certification Institute is an opportunity for individuals to leverage experiential skills and knowledge into career advancement.
If you are eligible, we welcome you to join our global network of successful professionals and practitioners from diverse occupational backgrounds and cross-functional disciplines.
