On behalf of the CSCE, we want to extend a huge congratulations to CSCE Fellow Edyta Blachowska on achieving her Strategic Communication Management Professional (SCMP) certification from the Global Communication Certification Council.

"I encourage all internal and external communicators to do such certification and strengthen the representation of Polish communicators" says Edyta.

Sia Papageorgiou argues that certification allows you to stand out with its internationally recognised standards, and why it’s crucial for communication professionals to continually update their skills to stay relevant in a rapidly changing field. She was recently featured on a podcast,  where she delves into the benefits of certification.

The CSCE has also partnered with GCCC to provide communication certification courses and resources within the strategic communication world.
