What would you say to someone who is considering earning an IHMM credential?
Go for it! As I reviewed for the exam, I validated my existing knowledge and then expanded upon it, well beyond the scope of my job function. Passing the exam was one of the most challenging yet validating experiences of my career. For me, obtaining the CHMM credential represents a continuation of my commitment to continuous learning and professional development, something we should all strive towards.
