Answer:

The Professional Research Certificate is a well-respected credential within the world of research practice. The PRC proves your awareness of the research industry's ethics, standards and practices and is an indicator of your knowledge and professionalism.

After, you will need to schedule your exam available online with at least 48h before taking it, and/or during any Insights Association conference with at least three weeks in advance. If you pass the exam you will become authorized to create a PRC profile with the Insights Association and utilize the PRC logo/mark online.
