IREC ISPQ credentialing drives quality workforce training, and gives credential holders an edge in an increasingly competitive marketplace. That’s easy for us to say, but for someone considering undergoing the rigorous IREC ISPQ process, it’s powerful to hear it from their peers.

Watch the five minute video to see what IREC ISPQ credential holders are saying.
