Certified Career Development Professional Certification
What Is The CCDP® Certification?
The SKCDA has worked in consultation with the National Certification Advisory Committee (NCAC) to create a framework for a national certification standard for Career Development Professionals (CDPs). The SKCDA has ensured that this certification accurately reflects the career professionals of Saskatchewan’s unique role in our province.
The Certified Career Development Practitioner (CCDP®) designation provides a new national standard that helps to qualify your expertise, build public trust, recognize your skills and increase confidence in the profession.
We encourage you to use the resources below and connect with the National Career Development Certification (NCDC) program to learn more about gaining a CCDP designation.
There is no requirement to be a Certified Career Development Professional to be employed in Saskatchewan. Certification is intended as a benefit to those who are interested in a more formal recognition of their skills, knowledge, and to enhance their professional identity while raising the professional profile of the career development field.
Career Certification Process
Please note that membership in the SKCDA alone does not meet the requirements of being a “provincially certified career development professional” as Saskatchewan did not have it’s own certification process prior to the launch of the national program. However, if you took advantage of our partnership with the New Brunswick Career Development Associations past partnership with the SKCDA to obtain your certification and are still a member in good standing with both associations you can apply through the Career Certification Legacy Program.
