In today's increasingly complex job market, credentials are highly valued by employers. Becoming certified can mean the difference between a job offer, a raise, a promotion—or falling far behind your peers. Certification proves to higher-ups that you’re a leader and a valuable resource they can rely on. It’s evidence of your commitment to your job as well as to the admin profession.

Still, you may be asking yourself: Is certification right for me? If you’re not sure, take a look at the questions below:

• Does your organization require you to keep your skills current?

• Are you considering asking for a raise and want to make the most favorable impression?
• Are you ready to commit to ongoing professional development?

If you answered “yes” to even one of these questions—certification is a wise choice!
