CCS Exam Voucher with Retake

The Critical Career Skills (CCS) program equips learners with the key competencies today’s employers prioritize. Together, these exams within the program offer a comprehensive approach to professional development, helping ensure that learners are well-rounded and ready to excel in any industry.

Professional Communication:

Poor communication is very expensive for companies. Studies have been done that estimate businesses with 100 employees lose an average of $420,000 per year due to poor communication between employees. The cost goes up based on the number of employees. The Professional Communication certifications give job candidates the proof they understand good communication and have the skills needed to be effective and efficient in their jobs, while saving the company money by not communicating poorly.

Generative AI Foundations:

As one of the most sought-after soft skills of the future, proficiency with generative AI tools and technical agility will be invaluable to both employers and employees.

Should you pass that exam, your journey has already begun. The next step would be to purchase another voucher and pass another required exam. For example, earning both of the required certifications listed on the My Pathway page at Certiport.com would grant you the credential of Independent Contractor.

After purchasing this product, you will also need to create a Test Candidate profile at Certiport.com in order to register and take your exam.
