Steps to Certification

What is the Certification process?

If you believe you already have the requisite education, skills and experience to qualify as a professional in your chosen field, you can register for certification and upload evidence of your experience and qualifications (Degrees, Diplomas, Curriculum Vitae, LinkedIn profile, Employers References) to IDSA Membership and Certifications Committee for review.

If you’re not yet ready for certification, we have identified a learning path of online courses with our partners, which are mapped to our requirements for qualification. Should you choose to expand your skills and knowledge with any of our partners or outside of our programs, you can return to us, once your training is complete and submit your application for review.

How long does it take?

IDSA IMCC sits once in a month. Fully completed applications for certifications will be reviewed at that meeting. Candidates will be informed shortly thereafter. You can expect to hear back from us within four weeks.

Who is on the Membership Committee?

Our Membership Committee includes senior experts from our IDSA Advisory Council both locally and internationally.
