SCI Certification follow up Needs Assessment for Administrators: Certification Feasibility

The purpose of this survey is a follow up to our initial needs assessment: SCI Specialty certification interest survey. This survey resulted in an overwhelming positive response and interest for most healthcare providers to obtain a specialty certification in SCI.

The findings from our initial certification needs assessment demonstrated:

1. Over 80% of those surveyed are interested in obtaining a certification in SCI.

2. The three primary reasons to obtain certification were: 
  • Professional growth
  • Enhanced professional practice
  • Validation of professional knowledge
3. 57% of respondents think there should be a certification exam for aides and attendants who are working with this population in addition to the professional certification.

4. Exam registration fee:

7% would seek certification if the exam cost less than $1000
16% would seek certification if the exam cost less than $500 to obtain certification
24% would seek certification if the exam cost less than $300
23% would seek certification if their employer paid for it
16% would seek certification if their employer reimbursed me for taking the exam.
13%stated they were unsure if they would take the exam at any cost.
