As such, earning your Disability Recruiter Certification™ communicates your expertise to employers, job prospects, and others involved in the recruiting process.
Additionally, certification:

• Establishes personal topical experience
• Establishes corporate commitment to hiring people with disabilities
• Increases success in finding, onboarding, and accommodating a fully diverse workforce that includes Americans with disabilities, including veterans

A: The certification modules are video and audio based with handouts suitable for downloading. They are available online and on demand through a computer, or on-the-go via your smartphone or tablet device. The modules are compatible with Windows and Android and iOS mobile operating systems.

A: Should you not pass the criteria for certification, you have one year to continue to review the materials and retake the certification course requirements once you take your first certification exam class. After a year, your progress will not be valid for future classes and you will be required to start over again.

A: Practicums are assigned exercises that require you to do the actual work of a disability recruiter. They have a threefold aim: to get you acquainted with the unique processes of disability recruiting, to give you a chance to build skills not just increase learning, and to provide you with valuable resources you will use over and over again.
