Elevate your credibility in social media through training and certification.

I've been in the field of social media marketing for more than two decades and had toyed with the idea of taking the certification exam several years ago. I wish I'd taken the course and exam sooner! While I found it challenging, I'm also eager to continue exploring areas with which I'm not as familiar.

This was the first time I had to sit for a proctored exam to gain my certification. Now, when I display my NISM badge, I know I am among a small group of professionals who have been vetted thoroughly for their expertise. It feels good knowing my NISM certification is a true testament of my knowledge of skills in social media. It's not just for show.

While studying for the exam I found myself relating client work to some of the tasks or topics in the manual. This made it much easier to understand and apply as I went through the subject matter.
