The ABC Designation

The ABC designation illustrates that you have successfully met a global standard in organizational communication. You have a specific level of education and experience as a business communicator. Your work has demonstrated that you can think strategically, establish meaningful goals and objectives, and measure your success. Your work has been reviewed by your accredited peers and has successfully stood the test that demonstrates you have a well-rounded, problem-solving approach.

Earn your ABC in three steps:

  1. Application
  2. Qualification (the portfolio)
  3. Examination (written and oral)

You must successfully complete each step before you can proceed to the next.
