What's the purpose of a certification?

The Presentation Guild has created a certification process in keeping with our goals of promoting the presentation design and production industry as a profession, recognizing the skills and expertise of the presentation professional.


By presentation professionals acquiring a certification, their presentation skills can be represented to peers, clients, and employers with recognized authority and clear identification of their skills.

Certifications recognize excellence

Our professional certifications reflect attainment of established criteria for proficiency and competency in the presentation industry. They require a specified amount of industry experience and are granted upon an assessment of an individual’s knowledge and skills.


There are currently two levels of certifications, with a third in the works. Take a look at the details below.
