What is a professional organisation?
A professional organisation (or professional body) represents, supports and often regulates a particular profession — in medicine, law, accountancy, engineering and many others. Part of that role is usually setting the assessments people must pass to qualify, and sometimes to stay certified through continuing professional development.
Like an awarding body, a professional organisation's credibility rests on the rigour of its exams. It needs secure, proctored, defensible high-stakes assessment — often for members worldwide and at scale. Synap supports professional bodies running exactly this kind of programme.
