You’re developing your qualifications
Developing your competences is capital you need to be able to document.
In many formal situations, a lack of confirmations (diplomas, certificates, references) can make it impossible to get a promotion, win a new commission or enter a new professional activity - especially with previous work abroad, applying for such work, or when changing industries.
From the expert
„Professional development is a big investment - but without full documentation of your qualifications it may not pay off. In practice a certificate or diploma is not just an ornament; it is a ticket to new opportunities that you need to have at hand."
