The document discusses choosing the right professional exams. It recommends doing a self-audit to discover your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. You should understand the costs and benefits, including the certification's economic value and impacts on your career. Choose a suitable certification by deciding on your career path, reading exam materials, getting tutorials if needed, setting a schedule, and registering to write the exams. Continued learning is important as certifications may need to be maintained and additional ones obtained as your career progresses.

CHOOSING THE RIGHT PROFESSIONAL EXAMS Ukpong J.
SELF AUDIT (RE)DISCOVER YOURSELF ?Learn about you and get to yourself. ?Know your mental limits. ?Define the specific career path and goals you intend. ?Do a personal SWOT: ?Personal Strength ¨C what are my competitive edges? ?Personal Weakness ¨C what are my weak points? ?Enabling Opportunities ¨C what can make me succeed? ?Emerging Threats ¨C what can stop me from succeeding?
ECONOMIC VALUE KNOW THE COSTS & BENEFITS ?Know the funding required, e.g. Personal, Sponsored, Scholarships. ?Get info on the market value of the certification. ?Engage industry experts and professionals in your area of interest (e.g. Workplace, LinkedIn etc.) ?Anticipate the impacts of the certification on your career growth and bargaining power.
CAREER PATH CHOOSE THE SUITABLE CERTIFICATION ?Decide on the career journey and destination from the start. ?Start reading and take free online mock tests/exams to analyze your competence level. ?Get paid tutorials if reading by self is too tasking for you. ?Set committed timelines and organize yourself. ?Register for the exams and stick to the exams syllabus. ?Write the exams.
FURTHER THOUGHTS THE CURVE AHEAD ? Does passing all the exams mean the end of career pursuits and investments? NO ? How do I remain certified and pay for membership subscription? ? How industry-diverse is the certification? ? As I go up the corporate ladder, do I need more certifications? YES ? How can I engage in private practice with my certifications?
