Do you know your netting from your MISU? Do you understand the intricacies of unit of count, or the vagaries of derived data? Can you tell a non-pro from a pro and distinguish display from non-display? 

If you can confidently explain all of the above, you might be ready to tackle the exam. If you can’t, get trained so you are. Either way, if you’re making data, selling data, or working with those who do either, you’ll need to know that information eventually. Let the FISD Data Licensing Specialist certification guide the way and validate your proficiency.
