MSI Certifications

About Management and Strategy Institute Certifications

When selecting a training or certification company, there are some factors you should consider. The information provided below is designed to help you decide if a certification through the Management and Strategy Institute (MSI) is right for you.

MSI is a certification company, not a “training” provider. When you purchase a program from us; what you are purchasing is the certification exam. We provide exam-prep training material for free as part of that purchase for most certifications.

Professional Development certifications are not “accredited” like a college or university. Training and certification companies are recognized by industry-specific accreditation’s and certifying bodies, based on the programs they provide. There is no centralized accrediting agency for professional development certifications. When selecting a certification or training provider, you should consider the factors below:

Is MSI located in the United States?

Certifications obtained through a U.S. based company hold significant weight over other certifications, especially with U.S. based companies. You should be able to easily verify this from a company’s “About Us” or “Contact Us” page. If a company hides its location, this is a good sign that they are not located within the U.S.

The Management and Strategy Institute is located in Pennsylvania. Our mailing address is located on our Contact page.
The Management and Strategy Institute is also a US Veteran-owned company.

Does MSI stand behind their certifications?

Very few certification companies have a satisfaction guarantee. This is either because they “just want your money,” or they don’t believe in the programs they are selling. When selecting a certification company, check to see if they believe in what they offer.

MSI offers a Full 30-day, No Questions Asked, 100% Money Back Guarantee on programs purchased on our website.

Will my employer or future employer accept my certification?

The acceptance of a certification, regardless of who the certification is through, is always at the sole discretion of the company hiring you. You should consult with your employer to verify acceptance of any certification before you enroll in a course.
