Buyer beware.  WSO is not an accredited certification program.

The courses are probably worth the tuition, but the certification is not as highly regarded as those from BCSP because they are not accredited.

However, the WSO should not be confused with the NASP.  Though neither is accredited, the NASP is a pure "diploma mill", for safety "licenses" and "certifications".  WSO at least, has a legitimate process that involves quite a bit more than just paying for a course.
