Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is certification?

• Certification is the process of proving fitness of an individual for a job or a profession
• A certification is often also called a credential.
• A certification is awarded after an individual goes through a credentialing or a certification process, which includes meeting the basic education and work-experience norms of the certification or credentialing body, and then passing the certification exam.
• It is a formal recognition by a 3^rd party that an individual possesses a critical baseline level of knowledge, skills and comprehension as prescribed in the body of knowledge of a profession, and hence she is fit for practicing the profession at an accepted level of consistent excellence.
• A certification is neither a Degree nor a License, and generally has a limited life.
• Certifications are earned from a standards body specializing in the profession of interest.
• Most certifications need to be renewed periodically to keep them alive, active and relevant for professional growth.
• Some Certifying bodies like CBCA often call themselves credentialing bodies as they have themselves researched, tested and implemented a rigorous credentialing process through which they award ‘credentials’ or certification to individuals who qualify the prescribed norms.

2. I have attended a training program in Blockchain with a famous training company in my city and the training company has given me a certificate. Do I still need to acquire a CBCA certification to improve my employability?

• Yes, you are strongly advised to do so.
• There is a difference between a certificate you get after attending a training program and a Certification you obtain after writing and passing a rigorous standardized exam of a certification body that has NOT trained you. Such an exam is seen to be unbiased and hence more reliable.
• A certificate given by a globally or nationally renowned Training organization or a business school has a decent employability value because it shows you have received high-quality training in your area and hence must have gained something.
• However, for employers, it is more important to have a proof that you really know what you have trained in, than merely the fact that you have trained with a great organization.
• Employers are most assured when they know you have been tested by an independent agency or body on rigorous standards.
• Hence, the Certification which is valued by employers is the one given by an agency or a body which has tested you or examined you on internationally accepted standards of Blockchain Technology & Cryptocurrency Investment Management.
• But the Certification that carries maximum value for prospective employers, is the one awarded by an international certification body which is NOT a training organization itself, and has awarded you a Certification after you passed its exam based on international professional standards. This is typically termed as 3rd party certification – You are the 1st party; your training company is the 2nd party, and CBCA is the 3rd party certification body.
• Hence, a certificate awarded by a training company does not usually carry as much value as a 3rd party certification awarded by a specialist certification body.
• But if, your training company gave you a certificate after you completed the training, and made you take CBCA certification exam, that is an ideal combination – you get a Training certificate by a leading training company, and you also get the prestigious CBCA Certification (a 3rd party international qualification!)

3. What should I do to leverage my CBCA certification best for my professional career?

• Start writing your CBCA-awarded credential-designation after your full name everywhere in all your official communication and professional identification documents like email signature, business cards, social media profile. Example: Josh Smith, MBA, BBP^™.
• In all online, digital communication, also include a link to your CBCA Digital Badge, below your name and CBCA designation, so that people can click and actually verify, you are CBCA certified. Include the Digital badge in your CV as well. Display the certification logo also, wherever possible.
• Add the designation in your CV along with the certification logo right at the top, alongside your name.
• Do not forget to add the certification logo and the digital badge in your LinkedIn and other profiles on social media.
• Find ways to display a copy of your CBCA Certification in your workspace somewhere.
• Wear your Certification badge to work every day, and also to professional meetings, seminars, events etc.
• Get yourself photographed with your CBCA credential kit, and find ways to display this photo as a profile picture or a cover picture occasionally on your social media accounts.
• Write blogs on Blockchain Technology & Cryptocurrency Investment Management and career platforms on your certification experience, to let people in your network know how special it is.
• Stay connected to the community of CBCA-certified professionals to stay abreast of the new and the happening.
• Never allow your CBCA certification to lapse. Stay alert about getting your renewals or upgrades done well before your certification expires.

4. Does a certification once acquired, stay active for life?

• A certification is neither a Degree nor a License, and generally has a limited life.
• The faster a profession changes because of changes in technologies, work-processes and business environment, the greater the need for professionals to update/ upgrade/ refresh/ renew their certifications.
• A lapsed Certification does not have employability value because the employers cannot be assured that you are current in your competence about the job or the profession.

5. I have a university degree. Do I still need a certification to get a job, or to grow in my job?

• Yes. A certification is a direct indicator of your employability in a job and your fitness and readiness for joining and pursuing a profession. A university degree, on the other hand, is an indicator of your general intellectual capabilities and understanding of principles in the subjects you may have studied.
• Put most simply, a Certification proves you can do a specific job well, or pursue a profession immediately because you have a baseline level of competence already; while a university Degree proves, you know and understand how to do that job well, or prosper in that profession – and hence you will need some special training to get exactly ready for that specific job or profession.
• That is the reason Certifications on top of a university Degree increase the perceived employability of an individual, as prospective employers are assured you can hit the ground running. That is also why most university students around the world today pursue certification programs in their interest areas simultaneously with their university studies, to get ready for a job by the time they graduate.
