  Academic Research on Professional Certification

Below is a small sampling of the available peer reviewed academic research regarding professional certification.

There are more than 4000 professional certification bodies in the United States alone. (Renski, 2018).

Professional certification provides credible evidence of an individual's knowledge, skills, and abilities and is a basis of employment qualifications (Cunningham, 2019; Elwell, 2017; Mbise, 2021; Renski, 2018; Tannian & Coston, 2021). In addition, professional certification provides for broader career opportunities resulting in a higher labor participation rate and lower unemployment rate.

Professional certifications are often used by employers in making hiring decisions (Hunsinger & Smith, 2009; Hunsinger et al., 2011; Mbise, 2021; Renski, 2018; Tannian & Coston, 2021).

Employers often prefer employment applicants to have more than one certification (Adams et al., 2004). In one study, over 50% of employers preferred job candidates with at least two certifications (Hunsinger & Smith, 2009).

Several studies have shown that employees with professional certifications receive higher earnings, benefits, and career advancement than those without certification (Adams et al., 2004; Cunningham, 2019; Hunsinger & Smith, 2009; Hunsinger et al., 2011; Martin, 2015; Renski, 2018).

Some employers consider professional certification as a part of the career path (Hunsinger & Smith, 2009) while some other employers require professional certification (Adams et al., 2004; Cunningham, 2019).

Organizations have seen several benefits from hiring individuals that have professional certification (Elwell, 2017; Hunsinger & Smith, 2009; Hunsinger et al., 2011). These benefits include financial gain, time and cost savings, efficient applicant evaluation, functional area productivity benefits, contract terms compliance, higher employee satisfaction, higher retention rates, and reduced outsourcing risk. In the area of education, organizations realize improved teaching quality and student performance (Hunsinger et al., 2011; Mbise, 2021).

  Domain Comps

This section provides research on previous domain names for other industries that have been sold.

Important Point:

• In real estate, comparable sales or comparables (comps) are used to determine the value and listing price of property or a home. A comp simply compares other similar homes that have been sold to the home that is being valued in the same area. With that said, specific premium domain names are valued in a similar manner, such as domain names for products, companies, and industries. They are compared to other similar domain names that have been sold in the past. (Forbes Magazine, Feb 25, 2020, "6 Things You Need To Consider When Appraising A Domain Name", Item 6, Comparable Sales.)
