Frequently Asked Questions
Why Are Global Certifications (IABAC & GSDC) More Valuable Than Local Certifications?
There is a clear distinction between a certificate of attendance and a professional certification.
A training certificate simply shows you attended classes.
A global certification, however, is earned only after passing a rigorous, standardized examination conducted by an independent certification body that is not involved in training you.
Because the exam is unbiased, employers consider the certification far more credible and reliable.
High-quality training institutions or business schools also provide valuable certificates, but global certifications carry stronger international employability value.
Does an IABAC Certification Stay Valid for Life?
No.
Business Analytics, Data Science, and AI evolve rapidly. An outdated certificate may signal outdated skills.
IABAC certifications can be renewed at no extra cost through the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) process to ensure your knowledge remains relevant.
Why Choose IABAC Certification?
IABAC is an independent certification body built on the principles of the EDISON – European Commission Program.

IABAC credentials provide globally valid proof of professional competence across these domains.
How Many Exam Attempts Are Allowed?
If a candidate does not achieve the required passing score, they receive one free re-attempt at no additional cost.
What Is GSDC and Why Is It Significant?
The Global Skills Development Council (GSDC) is an independent, vendor-neutral organization providing certifications in:

I Have a University Degree in Analytics. Should I Still Pursue IABAC Certification?
