Thank you to the Gardiner Centre for partnering with IABC NL to host this year’s certification exam, which was held on Saturday, February 6, 2021. https://www.mun.ca/gardinercentre/

This certification program is an initiative of the International Association of Business Communicators and is designated by the Global Communication Certification Council to promote a common, global understanding of what constitutes professionalism and competence in communication. The full details on the program are available at http://gcccouncil.org/

Two levels of professional certification are offered: The Communication Management Professional designation is for generalist, specialist, and other business communicators with at least 5 to 10 years of experience. The Strategic Communication Management Professional designation is for highly skilled business communicators practiced in providing strategic communication advice and counselling to an organization’s leadership.

We encourage communication practitioners to get involved as we build our community of certified professional communicators in Newfoundland and Labrador. It’s a great opportunity for practitioners interested in lifelong learning and career development!
