The Certified Speaking Professional designation has gained global recognition as an indicator of a member’s dedication to excellence in speaking. There are fewer than 700 active CSPs worldwide.
Professional Platform Excellence
The CSP designation is the speaking profession’s highest-earned international measure of professional platform competence.
Members who are awarded the CSP have a proven track record of capturing the audience and consistently delivering value from the platform. They have achieved a high level of experience and success in their business and are positioned as leaders in the industry.
Meeting Planners Recognise CSPs
With this designation, meeting planners know they are getting a true professional they can trust.
A CSP is someone who engages the audience, delivers excellence, and is a valued partner.
Working with a CSP brings a proven track record of continuing speaking experience and expertise.
The APSS CSP accreditation programme is an essential element in continuing to improve and advance the speaking profession and industry.
The APSS CSP Committee ensures the integrity and brand value of the CSP designation. The Committee sets application requirements, policies, and processes, and provides guidance to those who evaluate applicants’ video submissions by creating effective scoring benchmarks.
The CSP designation is only valid while a person is a financial member of Asia Professional Speakers Singapore (APSS) or one of the Global Speakers Federation (GSF) speaker associations. If a Certified Speaking Professional ceases to be a member of any GSF speaker association, their designation is no longer valid, and they must remove the designation from all their materials and products.
