Professionalism in the Workplace Training

Each of our courses ends with a multiple-choice test to measure your knowledge of the material.

This Professionalism in the Workplace Training course concludes with a 20 question multiple choice test with a printable certificate. In addition, brief in-course questionnaires guide the user through the sections of the training and are designed to reinforce learning and ensure maximum user engagement throughout.

As well as printable user certificates, training progress and results are all stored centrally in your LMS (Learning Management System) and can be accessed any time to reprint certificates, check and set pass marks and act as proof of a commitment to ongoing legal compliance.

What does my certificate include?

Your Professionalism in the Workplace Training Certificate includes your name, company name (if applicable), name of course taken, pass percentage, date of completion, expiry date and stamps of approval or accreditations by recognised authorities.

Please note if you are using our course content via SCORM in a third party LMS then we are unable to provide certificates and you will need to generate these in your host LMS yourself.

When you think of the word “professionalism”, what comes to mind? Traditionally, “professionalism” was largely focused on image. A professional was expected to leave their private life at home and physically turn up, looking and acting the part of a professional.

Today, the image of professionalism is less clear. Many organisations are happy for colleagues to wear smart casual clothes, wear their hair any way they like, sport a beard, have visible piercings and tattoos, and wear comfortable shoes. Many organisations have a relaxed attitude, creating an atmosphere where people can be their authentic selves without having to leave their personality and self-expression at the office door, and some people work either partly or entirely from home. Many organisations also encourage colleagues to socialise by allowing some informality at work and by arranging social events.

The word “professional” comes from a Middle English word meaning to have professed one’s vows. The word became associated with skilled workers during the rise of trade guilds, where professionals were people who had professed their skills to others and vowed to perform them to the best of their abilities.

This is what professionalism is all about. It’s a vow to perform your role to the best of your ability by upholding high standards of conduct, integrity, and competence in everything you do at work.

Today, political, social, and technological developments have made the workforce more diverse, and although appearances and personal hygiene do still matter, the focus of professionalism is less about fitting a rigid pre-defined image and more about your behaviour and you as a person. Being committed to demonstrating integrity and competence doesn’t need high heels or a sharp suit. You can be you and demonstrate professionalism at the same time.
