If you\u2019re working with a CMEA, you\u2019re working with the best.<\/p>\n<h6>The Value of a Professional Certification<\/h6>\n<p>Earning a professional certification credential is one of the most important and effective marketing tools available today.<\/p>\n<p>Professional certifications come in various forms ranging from education to skills, but they all provide you with one valuable benefit: they help build your credibility. Many people fail to realize that a potential employer may view you as untrained if you do not have formal training or certification. By demonstrating that you are competent in your field, you show to that potential client that you are serious about your profession and will put the time and effort into it to improve your skills in the conduct of your trade.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, another significant benefit of earning professional certification is building confidence in your competencies and abilities as a leader.<\/p>\n<h6>Here&#8217;s What You Should Do<\/h6>\n<p>To that end, NEBB provides initial and monthly comprehensive education and ongoing support. It also offers its members an opportunity to connect with a dynamic international network.<\/p>\n<p>CMEA candidates must:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Attend the Institute\u2019s intensive training class<\/li>\n<li>Successfully pass a comprehensive written exam<\/li>\n<li>Prepare a sample Appraisal Report that conforms to guidelines set forth by the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP). The report is graded by two Certified Appraisers and must pass the scrutiny of the Institute\u2019s Peer Review Committee.<\/li>\n<li>Attend a CMEA refresher course once a year<\/li>\n<li>Comply with continuing education requirements mandated by the Institute<\/li>\n<li>Comply with the ethics rule of the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Becoming and remaining a CMEA takes a high level of commitment, focus, and passion.<\/p>\n<p>The NEBB Institute endorses and strives to observe the highest standards of professional ethics to preserve the public trust inherent in the professional appraisal practice. It also fosters a culture of best practice sharing in a growing community of\u00a0professionals in the art of machinery\/equipment appraisal and brokerage.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/app.certitrek.com\/isba\/login\">Become a member of a community committed to promoting best practices to educate, certify, service and support professionals in the BUSINESS VALUATION profession.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Recommended Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s a reason we talk a lot about CMEAs at the NEBB Institute.
