The SharePoint Practitioner, Specialist and Master programs lead to AIIM designations. This is a new AIIM standard for industry professionalism and knowledge. By earning these designations, you can call yourself an AIIM SharePoint Practitioner, Specialist or Master. You can use the associated logo and title on your business card, email signature, web page, etc. The Strategic Workshop does not lead to any AIIM designations.
