Why is there a professional designation for workers’ compensation?

The Registered Workers’ Compensation Specialist (RWCS™) designation recognizes competence in this specific area of business, unlike other professional certifications which tend to be broader in scope and may lack any detailed education regarding workers’ compensation.

What is the benefit of having an RWCS™ designation?

Much like a college degree demonstrates to others that the graduate has a certain level of competence in his or her field of study, the RWCS™ designation shows clients and colleagues that the designation holder has demonstrated knowledge of workers’ compensation and is serious about their career.

How is the RWCS™ designation being promoted?

The National Registry of Workers’ Compensation Specialists is working to publicize the RWCS™ designation to employers and government employees. An example of our success is the strategic partnership with the International Institute of Municipal Clerks representing more than 10,400 municipal clerks and officials from cities and towns around the world.

How do employers view the RWCS™ designation?

The Registered Workers’ Compensation Specialist (RWCS) professional designation program has been well received by the public.

Many well known corporations have employed graduates of the program such as Allegiant Air, Hunter Douglas, Johnson and Johnson, Nabisco, Tyson Foods and Workwell. Additionally, leading insurance carriers are using the RWCS program to provide continuing education for their employees and sales representatives, including Accident Fund Insurance Company of America, Employers Insurance Group, Farmers Insurance and Missouri Employers Mutual.

What is your privacy policy?

It is crucial to us that your personal privacy remains protected. Accordingly, at no time will The National Registry of Workers’ Compensation Specialists sell personal information we receive from applicants to anyone else. Information submitted to The National Registry of Workers’ Compensation Specialists for registration will be used to grant membership to the association, the RWCS™ professional designation and for indentification and notification purposes only.
