The CCPDT's certification program is the first national certification for dog trainers. Many schools teach dog trainers and offer certification for their specific programs.

Unions came into power over 100 years ago to defend the rights of the employee against big business tycoons who were not as concerned about the worker as they were about their profits. Even before their legalization in 1842, unions have been organizing strikes to protect the welfare of their workers. Professional associations were built in the shadows of these unions, striving to help given professions and those within the professions succeed. The associations of today are similar to the union model. Members pay dues to the state and national affiliates in return for benefits. Some even have local chapters representing them. In this tough economy, why do people still join these associations? It is...

In one of our previous article we already discussed what an Information Security degree would bring you; now, let’s tackle this tricky question: “What security certification should I pursue?” Throughout my career, I constantly heard a ready-made answer:  CISSP! (even though the person was not able to tell what CISSP stands for). Try it yourself: Whenever you have a chance, ask your workmates the very same question. I bet someone will mention it before you finish the sentence. It’s a kind of wildcard answer: Security? No matter what area/position the person works for, say CISSP and you’ll be alright. But is that the definitive answer for this question? First, let me clarify something...
