What is Shopper Certification? How do I get a certification number?
The shopper certification is something that is offered by the Mystery Shopping Providers Association of which we are members. Since you are considered an independent contractor, we can not officially train you as a shopper. As an organization, they can train you. That is why the program was started. It is purely optional and will not cause you not to be a mystery shopper for our company. It does however, help in getting jobs. If I have a choice of two shoppers, then I will usually pick the certified one over the non certified one because I feel they have some training in what to do as a shopper. If you should choose to do one of the certifications, it is at www.mysteryshop.org We receive no money from this program and certainly encourage people not to pay to mystery shop except we do like this program. When you take the test, you will be assigned a number.
