PROFILE: My journey to Professional Registration - Kojo Hudson

Posted by on

Construction Professional Kojo Hudson shares his journey towards Professional registration to encourage Hardhat Professionals who are considering taking the same journey.

I have a very demanding career and as a result it was very difficult for me to make  the time to sit down and put together my reports. I had to sacrifice time with family and friends to ensure I got this done. 


I soldiered on because I have always viewed Professional registration as a fundamental statutory condition for practicing on your own accord and proof of experience, knowledge, transparency, ethical standards. I also believed the registration is essential for handling clients' assets.


The journey has been good especially for my confidence, knowing that I hold myself to an ethical standard feels good. Being professionally registered means I need to tread with caution and ensure that my clients interests are always put forward.
