Purpose:    Professional certifications show a person has the knowledge, experience and skills to perform a specific job and/or tasks in which they have been trained. Having a professional certification also tells potential employers that you are well-trained and committed to your profession--giving them confidence in your abilities and knowledge. Certifications can make you more valuable to employers, enable greater earning power, and offer advancement and management opportunities.
