Testimonials
"The exam checked my knowledge related to web analytics application under various scenarios. There were times when it seemed like more than one option is correct but the key lies in reading the question carefully and that would help to narrow down to right answer."

"For me the CWA stands out as the main tool independent certification when it comes to analytics, so I was very satisfied with achieving it. For me it was one of my personal goals at the time and I honestly felt validated in my analytics skills when I passed.
By having the certification you become more attractive both as a consultant and as an employee, because your understanding of analytics is actually documented. In a world with a lot of self-proclaimed gurus, you are actually able to put some official credibility where you mouth is."
Steen Rasmussen CWA™, Copenhagen Denmark

"The CWA™ title has been beneficial, especially at conferences that are not analytics specific but in the broader industry. The CWA™ title has given a sense of credibility."
Ryan Flanagan, CWA™, Melbourne, Australia
Ionmoon is a small web analytics consulting service in Almelo, The Netherlands which is on the 'wrong side of the country.' In December, 2010, I became a Certified Web Analyst™and the business has grown ever since. I even got a "big" client which I never would have dreamed of. My Certification was a crucial point in their decision.
This week, another potential client called - also from the other part of the country - who said they were interested because I'm certified. Prospective clients in Germany find being certified even more important. I can certainly recommend that web analysts take the exam and get certified. It really makes a difference for your own company or when you are applying for a job.
Geddy van Elburg, CWA™, Netherlands
