Are you ready to take your career to the next level?
Professional certification gives you the opportunity to demonstrate your knowledge and expertise, and provides evidence of your outstanding abilities. It engages you in a process of life-long learning that elevates your career and provides a structure for keeping your skills fresh and applicable.
The Global Communication Certification Council (GCCC®), a team of communication professionals assembled by IABC’s international executive board, has developed two certifications. Both are ANSI-Accredited Personnel Certification Programs, proving the prestige and value of these certifications on an international scale.

Strategic Communication Management Professional (SCMP®)
The Strategic Communication Management Professional certification is aimed at senior communications professionals, for those with eight to 11 years of experience.
