Why should you choose a Certified Professional Speaker 
What is professional certification?Professional certification in the speaking industry is a means of recognizing on-going development as a speaker. Two areas are recognised - the ability to command the attention of an audience as a speaker and the skills and knowledge of running a successful speaking business.
The members of the world-wide professional speaking body, International Federation for Professional Speakers (IFFPS) have established agreed standards. (Member nations listed below.)
The highest level is Certified Speaking Professional (CSP)
Speakers who attain this accreditation have demonstrated that they have been professional speakers for at least 5 years, have many clients and have earned a significant income from speaking.
For you as a buyer of professional speakers, the value of this world-wide recognition gives extra confidence to know that these speakers have been judged by their peers and customers, and passed,  according to the relevant criteria.
