Certification is defined as an official document attesting to a status or level of achievement. The CVAHP is a validation of knowledge in the area of value analysis. To me certification is a matter of pride, I include it in every introduction. It is valuable to me to demonstrate my expertise as a professional in the industry. Recognition of achievement should not be underestimated both for current roles and responsibilities as for future advancements.
