Outsourcing Certification Primer & Application Overview
Date and Time: Wednesday, February 22, 2017 | 2 PM - 3:30 PM
This workshop is beneficial to those looking for an introduction to IAOP’s COP certification program. IAOP certifications address the needs of individuals who work across the global outsourcing industry from entry level positions focused on the delivery of outsourced services through to senior executives leading global outsourcing programs at customer, provider and advisor organizations.
Get answers to the most frequently asked questions such as:
-
What type of experience do I need to earn this certification?
-
What is the process for certification?
-
What are the benefits becoming a COP?
Participants will leave with not only a solid understanding of which designation is best for them and where they stand within the certification process, but how this program can be beneficial to bring in-house within their company.
If you’ve been considering training and certification or already decided to begin the COP process, this is a great workshop to help you create your own path to certification.
In part two of this workshop, we'll dig a little deeper into the application and help you understand:
-
What constitutes an outsourcing project?
-
How far back in my outsourcing career can I go?
-
How do I document my experience?
-
Does my post-graduate degree apply toward knowledge and training points?
Time will also be set aside for you to begin working on your application with IAOP team members on hand to make sure you are on the right track.
Fee: Complimentary, but you must reserve your spot
