Why should I become certified? What are the benefits in becoming a credential holder in the IEEE CS certification programs?
An increasing number of employers are seeking software development professionals who have earned a CSDA or CSDP credential. In this very competitive and global economy, having one of these credentials is a great benefit to both you, the software development professional, as well as your employer. These coveted credentials provide a means of assessing your personal progress and will serve as a motivator for continuing your professional education. The CSDA and CSDP certifications are the only two credentials that are based upon both an ISO-IEC Techincal Report and the Software Engineering Body of Knowledge (SWEBOK Guide), an internationally-accepted consensus on industry-standard software practices.
