- Current & Projected Status of the Home Business Market
- Home Business Types

The Professional Edge Exam - This is the Final Exam, necessary to receive a Certificate of Training and a Letter of Recommendation. This enables us to measure how far along you are with the objective of coaching you on: (1) if necessary, further training/practice, or area emphasis, (2) who to apply with and how to apply with them. Those with 90% or above will be recommended by letter - according to objective exam results and a correlating employability index - as strongly employable for work to be done at home (as a contractor) and/or in office.
