Resume Writers Australia has established a credible registration and certification system.

Our certification is a defining award in the resume writing profession that:
- elevates the status and esteem of resume writers in the community;
- provides members of the public with greater confidence when investing in resume writing services by knowing that RWA certified writers have been independently assessed and certified;
- provides incentives for resume writers to work together as a community, rather than compete, in attaining high professional standards and establishing industry standards
- contributes to the building of, and maintenance of, expertise and knowledge in the industry
- supports resume writers in their work through establishing a code of conduct and professional standards upon which they will base their work
In order to be awarded the PCRW (Professional Certified Resume Writer) award from Resume Writers Australia, you will be required to:
- Accept the Code of Conduct and hold yourself and your business to this standard
- Submit two samples of work (your finished resume along with original resume or form completed by your client) along with completion of the submission form for each resume
- Signed declaration regarding client permission and that the work is your own
- Pay the assigned fee for (1) registration and (2) submission
Your samples are then submitted to an independent panel of experts who will assess and award the certification, or provide feedback for resubmission. As part of your submission fee you are able to resubmit your samples one more time. If you are not successful, you are able to resubmit for a cost of $100 each time.
