What does the CIW acronym stand for?
The CIW brand has come to represent quality standards in IT and Web-based certification, education and skills validation. The program’s original name has evolved and is therefore de-emphasized in favor of the simple CIW brand. The acronym “CIW” was adopted to represent a family of professional certifications and associated curriculum originally known as the Certified Internet Webmaster (CIW). Since then the CIW program grew to include job-role certifications that exceed the boundaries of the Internet and the role of the Webmaster. CIW certifications now validate skills and expertise in more advanced and diverse IT disciplines, such as server administration, security, application development, programming languages and enterprise solutions, as well as computer and Web skills practical for every job. As such, the program title was modifed for the 21st century to “Certified Internet Web Professional.
