Eburuche, Obinna Chimezie Banito
Have you ever been approached by someone telling you about
professional training, certification, induction and probably urging you to
obtain license to practice? Did you accept the advice or did you turn it down?
Whichever way, doubtlessly, professional training has a lot of unquantifiable
weight of benefits to your career, business and education.
First, what is professional training? It is a
technically-skilled strategic development programme with the sole aim of
boosting one’s capacity and reputability towards achieving excellence,
profitability and high-performance productivity. Professional training is a
continuous development package that helps you enhance and update your skills
thus keeping you relevant and irresistible as a professional.
What is Professional Certification?
This is the hard competency proof issued to all who had satisfactorily met the requirement for such through their training.

What is a Professional Induction?
An induction is an initiation into a
professional body that harbors and defends your professional interests. A
professional body grants you 'permit' in the form of 'license' after you have been
sworn-in by agreeing to abide by the 'codes of practice' as regards to the
profession you are being trained. So, an induction offers you membership,
recognition and access to the rights and privileges as available in the
professional body.

This is a legally approved permit offered
by a professional body to her members who upon merit, can practice such a
profession having met all statutory requirements of the body.
Could it be possible for someone to have certification
without an induction and license? The answer is yes. But it is advisable that
you obtain your induction and license as you won’t be allowed some privileges.
One of such is that, you won’t be allowed to bear the title attached to your
profession.
