Certification requires the passing
of objective examinations, typically three, and then annually recertifying
that you've maintained your currency in the field. Recertification
involves an annual membership and recertification fee. This is a
life long commitment to professionalism in your chosen career in
the IS/IT field. Your IT certification is equivalent to the same
level of credential as available for Doctors, Accountants and Engineers!
