Certification & Licensure
The Certification and Licensure Advisory Group brings together leaders from across the certification and licensure industries to inform and guide Credential Engine’s work around credentialing issues and trends and ensure that the organization’s efforts incorporate the best practices and pertinent data that will help the certification and licensure community meet current and future needs.
Why We Believe In Credential Transparency

- Clear understandings of their credentials, their components, and their connections to both each other and the workforce
- Deeper understanding in the workforce and in education about the role of certification and licensure
- Improved access to data that will enable certification bodies and licensing agencies to demonstrate value and quality to employers
- Increased ability to track trends and best practices
