Professional certification: why?
In a constantly evolving world, professional certification is a real asset for employees and companies.
Professional certification is not limited to obtaining a certificate that confirms the successful completion of training, it attests to the recognition of the practical skills and professional development of employees. From comprehensive training to rigorous examination procedures, the candidate sees his practical knowledge attested and is recognized as a certified professional.
A growing number of professionals today understand and appreciate the fact that good practices and methods for a given field exist. This awareness came about through the application of the knowledge and skills acquired in training to serve the objectives of their company, thus becoming the key factor in the success of their organization.
ISO standards: what are they?
International standards are necessary devices that define rules common to different countries for products, services, and systems. The goal is for products, services, and systems to meet the same standards of quality, safety, and efficiency throughout the world. They thus allow the simplification of exchanges between countries within the framework of international trade.
ISO Standards are invented by the International Organization for Standardization. It is an independent, non-governmental international organization established in 1946 with the aim of “facilitating the international coordination and unification of industrial standards”. Today it brings together national standardization organizations from 164 different countries which provide experts to develop international standards.
ISO standards concern many sectors: industry, technology, food safety, agriculture, and even health.
Here are 3 good reasons to obtain ISO certification:
1. International recognition
In the context of globalization, standards have been developed to facilitate trade between countries. ISO standards are developed by working groups made up of experts from different countries who share their knowledge. ISO certifications are therefore recognized not only in UK but also abroad.
2. An asset on your CV
When a company recruits an information security expert or a risk manager, qualifications are the crucial element in choosing the candidate assigned to the position. Whether it is an IEC 27001 Information Security certification, an ISO 31000 Risk Manager certification, or an ISO 3700 Anti-Corruption Management certification, preference will go to the candidate who holds the certification appropriate professional.
3. A source of motivation and self-confidence
