The Group Benefits Associate (GBA) designation is an ideal fit for those dealing with health and other group benefits. The courses reflect up-to-date and relevant information-including the latest on health care reform- needed to effectively design, administer and communicate group benefits.

The certification corresponds to a specialty within a recognized occupation. For example, Oncology Nurse and Pediatric Nurse are specialties within the nursing field, so Certified Oncology Nurse and Certified Pediatric Nurse would be classified as specialty certifications.
