In 1993, CFCA established the Certified Communications Security Professional (CCSP) program to recognize both professional and educational achievements of our members. Attainment of this recognition (CCSP) is a distinct and desirable mark of professional and educational achievement. Certification programs, in general, act as a means of establishing standards within a given industry. A successful career in any profession begins with an appropriate degree of certification. CFCA’s CCSP is the only certification program of its kind in the communications industry. According to the individuals who have obtained their CCSP designation, the rewards of certification are many, including:

• “Certification testifies that you have made a positive commitment to your profession.”
• “Certification denotes a level of expertise and achievement.”
• “Certification goes hand-in-hand with retention and career advancement.”
