Becoming Certified

Disability management professionals and practitioners in 13 different countries now have the opportunity to take a licensing examination and become certified in their profession.

Today disability management can be studied at a growing number of colleges and universities around the world. Applicants must also have significant workplace experience in disability management. The final step towards earning the designation is to write a seven-hour examination administered by the IDMSC. The IDMSC has made every attempt to ensure that professional certifications administered in each jurisdiction are standardized taking into account variations due to differing national standards.
