BUSINESS CERTIFICATION OPTIONS

In the Business Management Department, there are several certification options available.

Joshua Career Institute (JCI) supports students in the following business-related certification fields:
Certified Bookkeeper (CB)
Certified Public Bookkeepers (CPB)
Certified Accounting Analyst (CAA)
Professional Administrative Certification of Excellence (PACE)
Certified Customer Service Specialist (CSS)
Certified Customer Service Representative (CSR)
Certified Payroll Specialist (CPS)
Certified Payroll Professionals (CPP)

Certified Professional Secretary (CPS)

Accounts Payable Manager Certification (APM)
Accounts Receivable Specialist Certification (ARS)

and much more...

Certification means that "you are board certified." Receiving a certificate from an institution DOES NOT MEAN you are board certified. (This is a very important information to understand!!!). To be board certified students must go to a certification board to take their examination and Joshua will support you by providing classroom preparation to take the examination.

Some argue that board certification is almost an equivalent of Master's degree? They argue that spending four months in being board certified is almost like four years in college. Did you know that on business cards and e-mail signatures, no one lists Bachelor's degree anymore, but they proudly display certification titles and Master's degrees? No wonder we take pride in seeing our students become certified in the right programs.
