Current Models of Certification: A World Tour

Join e-Volunteerism for a unique around-the-world tour of what’s going on today in credentialing of volunteer management practitioners. In this article, knowledgeable colleagues from Australia, Canada, England, Germany, New Zealand, North America, Scotland and the United States describe how certification has evolved in their respective countries. They also discuss what is happening today, who is involved as the credentialing body, and other important features of their approach. In a special feature, readers can compare the existing credentials side-by-side and consider the similarities and differences. This is the first time this international information has been compiled in one place, and e-Volunteerism encourages readers from other countries to post responses and expand our world-wide comparison of credentialing.
