Professional qualifications and training are an essential component in many graduate jobs, for example engineering, finance and surveying. In other areas, a certification or qualification may not be essential but is often valued by the graduate employer to provide greater expertise in the area for their graduate recruits. Qualifications and certifications are normally governed by professional bodies, who have a formal route of training in particular area, such as accountancy. They set out the criteria for exams and assessment and accreditation, while also governing areas such as professional ethics or a code of behaviour for a particular area of work, and example would be the legal profession. Many professional bodies have student membership available, which is a great way of acquiring skills while still in college. Any training courses run by professional bodies can help you develop skills and competencies which will greatly benefit your CV.
