Taking a Closer Look

Let's break down the meaning of an "international industry-recognized certification (IIRC)."

First, "international" signifies that it is recognized around the world, no matter what country you live in.

Second, "industry" signifies that the certification has been vetted and backed by professionals in industry. It isn't just a certification created by the authors of this course. It has real value and credibility.

Having the Remote Working Professional IIRC lets anyone know what you are capable of and your credentials—this can include your current employer, potential employers if you are applying for a new job, and potential clients if you run your own business. When you complete this course and earn your certification, they will know that you have met a baseline of standards and are ready to thrive in the world of remote work. You will be equipped with the certification for life, no matter where your career path takes you.

This certification is backed by WebProfessionalsGlobal.org, the industry association comprised of members who built the technology tools we utilize every day in remote work.
