New Organization Offers Professional Certification in Business,
Computers, and The Trades

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON  April 22, 1997  --  The Professional Standards
Certification Institute (PSCI) today announces the official launch of
it's professional career certification program.  PSCI offers
Professional Career Certification in over 100 fields in Business,
Computers, and The Trades.

PSCI is an organization dedicated to the establishment, development, and
preservation of high professional standards and ethics.  PSCI is not a
school and does not offer courses, degrees, or diplomas.  PSCI evaluates
experience, education, and knowledge, and awards professional career
certification.
 
There are 5 levels of certification.  These range from the entry level
"Associate" to the highest level "Manager".  Applicants may apply for
and earn certification at any level they are qualified for.
 
In addition to the many fields of certification offered through PSCI,
applicants may declare specializations in their field to be included in
your certification.  Here are some examples:  If an applicant is 
obtaining certification as a computer programmer, the applicant may
declare a specialization in a specific programming language.  If the
applicant is obtaining certification in the secretarial field, the
applicant may declare a specialization as a legal secretary.  If an
applicant is obtaining certification in the plumbing field, the
applicant may declare a specialization in industrial plumbing.  These
are only three examples of the numerous possibilities.

PSCI does not administer tests for certification.  Many organizations
award certification based solely on tests.  PSCI believes that tests are
not a good measure of a person�s abilities.  A test measures "general"
knowledge and brain capacity.  PSCI believes that evaluating your
"proven" experience and education is a better measure of a person's
abilities.
