“Last week I renewed my Strategic Communication Management Professional (SCMP) certification through the Global Communication Certification Council (GCCC). My renewal certificate is pictured below. I gained my certification in 2018 because I believe in life-long learning and I believe we must continue to sharpen our practice to stay relevant. If we don’t respect our profession, how can anyone else? I also believe that certification elevates the value and visibility of the modern-day communication professional. CMP and SCMP credentials are synonymous with recognition and respect – for us and the organisations we serve. Certification brings much needed consistency to our profession by uniting us around a single body of business communication knowledge. That common body of knowledge is the Global Standard of the Communication Profession – a standard of excellence that defines what constitutes professionalism and competence in communication practice.”

If you’re interested in becoming GICC certified through IABC, Orange County, Los Angeles, San Diego, and San Francisco chapters are partnering to offer an exam on Saturday, May 1, 2021. Learn more and apply to become CMP or SCMP certifications here.
