“I initially became certified as a way to formally define my experience and qualifications. It is a way to identify myself immediately as a professional in an industry where it is often very difficult to do so. Certification is just one of the many tools our company uses to convey to prospective clients that we are educated, experienced and dedicated to our work.”
