REQUIREMENT
Professional
Recommendation
Definition
For certification purposes, a professional recommendation is provided by an individual who
has direct knowledge of the applicant’s on-the-job performance.
The professional
recommendation should discuss the applicant’s work performance as it relates to the role
and expectations required of the certification. While teamwork, experience and work ethic
are the types of things discussed, the recommendation should give the FCB an idea of the
type of individual applying for certification. Individuals providing a recommendation may
not be in a subordinate position to the applicant.
