Accreditation and Certification
For trade and professional associations, certification and accreditation programs can be powerful tools for building credibility, strengthening member value, and supporting long-term engagement. While certification recognizes individuals who have demonstrated specific education, experience, skills, or knowledge, accreditation recognizes an organization or program as meeting established standards to perform certain activities.
CAM helps clients manage both types of programs with careful planning, clear communication, and strong administrative support. By using best practices and modern technologies, CAM assists associations meet the growing demand for qualified professionals, credible programs, and recognized standards of excellence.
Member Certification Program Management
Certification programs provide a public quality assurance framework for individual members and professionals. They show that credential holders have met defined standards and operate with professional knowledge, skill, and integrity.
CAM supports the full lifecycle of certification programs, from development and administration to maintenance, communication, and promotion. This includes supporting certification policies, continuing education requirements, member communications, application processes, renewals, and program updates.
CAM has also participated in the development of four psychometrically validated certification exams for different associations, helping ensure that certification programs remain credible, relevant, and professionally sound.

Things to Know About ANAB Accreditation
The ANSI National Accreditation Board (ANAB) mark shows that a credential holder has passed a valid and reliable assessment. Because of this, many government agencies rely on ANAB-accredited programs. These include the U.S. Department of Defense, Department of Energy, OSHA, and the FDA.
ANAB accreditation increases program credibility and marketability. However, the application process is detailed, time-consuming, and costly. For this reason, having an experienced CAM team member manage the process helps reduce risk, save time, and control expenses.
