"BPM gives organizations the
ability to cut operational costs at a time when the economic downturn
makes it increasingly difficult to boost revenue. BPM enables government
agencies to dismantle obsolete bureaucratic divisions by cutting
the labour and paper intensive inefficiency from manual, back-end
processes. Faster and auditable processes allow employees to do
more in less time, reducing paper use as well as administrative
overhead and resources." – Aberdeen Group |

THE BPM CERTIFICATION PROCESS |
 |
Attaining
the BPM designation is based on educational background,
work experience and the completion of a multi-part curriculum.
The
route to certification follows a learning path that
provides for levelling the playing field of required
BPM knowledge within the group itself.
The
sessions are divided into separate yet integrated learning
and discussion experiences with senior executives on
the mentoring team who have been handpicked for each
particular certification session. |

BPM
Council Certification testing uses a competency-based method
in our Certification process. Certification is granted for
the program by achieving a minimum score of 90% on the
certification exam. Persons taking the exams must apply
the techniques and methods used in the training to real
case studies to prove they can actually do the work. The
attendee is entitled to 2 hours of follow-up phone consultation
with the facilitators to complete the assignments. Once
the tests are scored and learning has been confirmed, attendees
receive a certificate in BPM and the P.BPM designation
is conferred to certify capabilities and knowledge.
Our objective is to make the very best educational resources
available to everyone interested in expanding their skills
in Business Process Management. We are committed to serving
the BPM community at large with the best educational material
possible. To continue the dialogue with delegates and to ensure that
the P.BPM retains current value, periodic Teleconferences,
Web Conference workshops as post graduate sessions to refresh
knowledge, obtain feedback from the field and introduce new
concepts as they emerge. You truly become part of a network
of unique individuals who acquire this BPM knowledge.

Certification
Recognition - The BPM community at large is currently fragmented
but this is a natural situation that precedes a more cohesive BPM
community that will soon emerge. The BPM Council will continue to
support the process community as we seek to help individuals and
enterprises achieve new milestones in Business Process Management.
We have multiple discussions underway regarding expanding our Certification
program into formally accredited academic programs and eventually
moving our Certification program into a non-profit Process
Community for ongoing development and administration.
Certification recognition is a process of organizations understanding
the goals and objectives of the BPM council and that the content
provided to trainees is done by instructors with years of experience
in the field who have a solid reputation and background including
superb training skills in Business Process Management. Read
