    "I wanted to hold a certification respected among my peers. My education was not in Market Research and yet I had learned so much after years in the industry. The IPC was the only way I felt I could showcase my knowledge to anyone who did not know me."

    Tim Kunkel, IPCVP of Strategy, Aspen Finn

     

    "IPC shows my clients that I can have an elevated conversation with them and provide guidance based on a commitment to standards and the highest ethics."

    Rahul Choudaha, PhD, IPC Managing Director, Higher Education, Morning Consult

     

    “I value the IPC Master as it provides an objective measure of proficiency and commitment to the evolving research landscape while adhering to high ethical standards.”
