Could you share some insight about how pursuing your CEBS demonstrates that you are a lifelong learner and an expert in your profession?

The ability to show the world that you are continuing to strive and grow through online learning, courses and designations has become exceptionally valuable. Holding a CEBS designation brings a class of distinction; you are among experts in the field of employee benefits.

Could you share a story about how you prepared for your CEBS exam and applied what you learned to your work?

Preparing for my CEBS exam began with dedicating early mornings to my studies. I would take two hours a day, five days a week to study for each exam before the regular workday began. I continue this routine today and apply this time to my professional development and growth.

Could you describe how earning your CEBS designation has supported you in your role and professional growth?

Participating in my ISCEBS local chapter events has significantly expanded my professional network as well as my knowledge in the benefits and pensions industry. Learning from some of the top experts in your field is extremely imperative. Since graduating, I have joined my local chapter board to further build relationships with members in the industry.

My CEBS designation has helped me to be recognized as a professional in the employee benefits field. It has opened doors that I never expected, even during my studies. I am very thankful to hold the title of CEBS.
