Certified Social Marketing Associate (CSMA) - Certification
ABOUT CERTIFICATION
Most certification programs are created, sponsored, or affiliated with professional associations, trade organizations, or IT vendors interested in raising standards. Even those programs completely independent from membership organizations enjoy association support and endorsement.
The growth of certification programs is also a reaction to the changing employment market. Certifications are portable, since they do not depend on one company's definition of a certain job. Certification stands about the resume and the professional reference by being an impartial, third-party endorsement of an individual's professional knowledge and experience. (Source: Wikipedia)It is important to distinguish the difference between taking a course and achieving a certification. Our online courses provide you with educational material and a certificate of completion. A certification is not designed to be educational but rather to test and verify your competence in an arena. Your certification is a much more significant credential than a certificate of completion from a course. The eMarketing Association developed the first certification for Internet Marketing, Certified eMarketing Associate (CeMA) in 1999, and is the world leader in Marketing Certifications. Tens of thousands of individuals have been certified by the eMarketing Association, in over 60 countries. Our certifications are offered in over 600 Colleges and Universities.
