Individuals are often asked why they choose to become certified.
For most professionals, Certification is proof of competency in a particular field. If you consider the field of accounting, there are regular accountants and there are those who earn their CPA credential.
CRTS® Certification is such a credential. In the unregulated field of Senior Home Transition™, CRTS is not a requirement, but a choice. Yet we are proud to acknowledge over a thousand businesses and organizations who have chosen to uphold CRTS® Certification as a symbol of competence and excellence.
