As a condition of receiving and retaining a grant of Certification applicants will be required to confirm their acceptance of the following Code of Ethics.  Whilst the adherence of Certified Professionals to PECB's Code of Ethics is a voluntary engagement, should a member fail to substantially uphold this code by engaging in negligence or significant misconduct, membership may be terminated, Certifications revoked and all listings so annotated.  Not only is it important for PECB-Certified professionals to adhere to the principles expressed in this Code, each member should encourage and support adherence by other members.

Whilst Zygma provides training using PECB-Certified instructors, all matters of Certification are the ultimate responsibility of PECB.  Zygma will do all it can to support its course participants in securing the Certification to which they are entitled, whilst itself adhering strictly to the PECB Code of Ethics and Rules & Policies, which Zygma upholds.
