Benefits The benefits of an official Spanish certification are mostly of the financial nature. According to official studies across the nation, the value of a foreign language certification to a working individual ranges from $50,000 to $200,000 over the course of a person's working life. A certification in Spanish sets a job seeker apart from the competition, and allows him or her to receive more desirable jobs that are higher paying. If you are applying to a school, a Spanish certification tells the admission staff that your Spanish abilities are documented at an established skill level. If you have lived or travelled in a Spanish speaking country, taken one or more Spanish classes, or even have had close contact with Spanish speaking friends or family, you are most likely eligible to be acknowledged for your abilities. Many people with existing jobs have added a Spanish certification from LCI to their resume and then gone straight to their boss for a raise or improved position in the company. Whatever your level of Spanish, it is most definitely in your best interests to establish your skill level with an official Spanish certification. If you are considering adding the value of a Spanish certification to your resume, you can start now. |
 "My plan was never to get paid more, but I found out that most jobs pay 10% more for each certificate a person holds. Thanks for recognizing me with an official certificate." -Michelle Danforth, New York, NY |
