Certification Training
Employees can receive certifications in almost any area imaginable. Certifications range from industry-specific qualifications (e.g., healthcare certifications such as HIPAA compliance) to globally recognized standards such as ISO certifications for quality management (e.g., ISO 9001).
What is Certification Training?
Certifications are issued when an organization or individual demonstrates mastery of standards an accrediting body or organization sets. Certification Training provides the means for employees and organizations to gain the knowledge, skills, and competencies required to pass a certification exam in a specific field or industry.
There is no lack of opinion about the benefits of certifications, but these two seem especially appropriate:
David Foote, CEO and Chief Research Officer at Foote Partners, describes the benefits of certifications: “For employers, certification validates that employees have the skills and knowledge necessary to perform their jobs. For employees, it offers a competitive edge and boosts confidence.”
Joe Cannata, President of TechGuidance, adds, “Certifications ensure that employees are staying current with industry standards and evolving technologies, which is critical for the long-term success of any organization.”
Let’s examine why Certification Training is more than a luxury—it’s a necessity.

Bright Horizons Case Study
Interactive Classroom Learning
Bright Horizons is a publicly-traded, leading provider of child care and early education, back-up care, and workplace employee servies with over 1,000 locations and 30,000 staff around the glob.
Bright Horizons wanted to supplement their existing training materials with interactive learning. Their goal was to help their teachers practice skills relevant to their responsibilities without taking too much time away from the classroom. In addition, the learning experience needed to be fun and engaging, both to appeal to their learners and to highlight Bright Horizons’ company culture.
Allen Interactions and Bright Horizons collaborated to develop a 2D interactive game-based e-learning experience for their employees in child care centers. Initial efforts focus on skills related to health and safety.
After trusting Allen Interactions with their training needs, the company experienced the following:

- Reduces the risk of non-compliance and the consequences of failing to meet requirements.
- Enhances employee retention and job satisfaction.
