Introduction
The Certified Business Professional Program (CBP) is an international industry credential that validates and develops the business professional.
A typical candidate is a professional who is in pursuit of excellence and is committed to exceeding and surpassing all standards for the business professional. The program establishes a foundation-level, industry-neutral certification for business professionals enabling employers and the candidate to have a platform to develop the CBP™ for targeted positions within corporations.
The workshops, lectures, simulations and hands-on sessions provide the training and learning environment to maximize the candidate’s potential.
The certification examination measures the skills and knowledge learned within the program. The program was developed by industry-wide and cross platform job task analysis and consultation with key industry representatives to ensure the program’s effectiveness and applicability.
The fact that the program is recognized by the International Business Training Association (IBTA), ensures the candidate is exposed to functional business tasks and gains required practical exposure to the work environment.
Benefits of Certification to an Individual
Almost every job has a core set of technology and business components that requires the professional to develop information technology and business skills. As many professionals pursue their careers in the workplace, there is a need to differentiate between “ordinary employment seekers” and “Certified Business Professionals.”
The CBP certification provides this differentiator by certifying that the professional can demonstrate specific skill sets. Candidates who demonstrate technical and business skills with a widely recognized certification are on the path to excellence and professional development.
This certification is made possible through the alignment of the ITBA with Thompson Prometric, a market leader of Internet-based testing and assessment tools.
CBP Certification and Paths
The CBP™ certification process not only measures the candidate’s knowledge of exam segment areas but also ensures that the candidate has participated in an intensive program at a professional learning environment. This ensures that successful candidates are fully equipped to demonstrate all the competencies required in this program.
