Professional Testing and Certification Center
Professional certifications are quickly becoming the norm for individuals entering a variety of professional fields. Certifications show employers that you have the knowledge and skills they are looking for and serve as a way to differentiate yourself from other job applicants.
Seminole State College offers affordable, high-quality certification credentialing to meet the growing demand for professional certification through its Professional Testing and Certification Center. Through the center, students and community members can earn professional certifications in more than 100 areas.
