Our Professionals
​
-
Demonstrate expertise and proficiency in a particular field, acquired through various means such as formal education, vocational training, apprenticeships, or practical experience. While formal education is a common pathway to professionalism, it is not the sole criterion. Therefore, individuals who have acquired specialized knowledge, skills, and certifications through non-traditional routes, such as self-directed study, mentorship, on the job training, or alternative education programs, are also considered professionals.
