The Certified Career Development Professional (CCDP) is a designation that tells the public, an employer, or a potential client that a career practitioner meets a standard of professionalism. The CCDP is for you if you wish to:

• Obtain official recognition of your competency in the career development field
• Stand out professionally and increase the marketability of your qualifications
• Demonstrate your commitment to career development work
• Target areas of potential development and growth
• Commit to a self-selected program of continuous learning and professional development
• Contribute to public awareness of career development as a defined field of practice
• Participate in a potential group insurance plan that is available only to associations that have an established professional designation program.

You can be a member of the CDAA and choose not to be CCDP certified. The process is strictly voluntary.
