Certification levels

This is the first level of certification of specialists in the field of business process management, which is designed for people who are new to the profession. It is designed to recognize professionals who have a broad base of skills and understanding, have some industry experience, but do not have the full four years of practical experience required for a second level Certified Business Process Specialist (CBPP).

This certification can be obtained by also having 1250 hours of documented practical experience in BPM.

CBPA Certificate – designed for a new BPM specialist. The goal for this certification is an intern who has completed (or is in the process of completing) his or her own undergraduate course or has worked in a business process management function for at least one year.

The exam demonstrates an understanding of the concepts of business process transformation through the disciplines covered in BPM-CBOK.

CBPA certification allows people who are starting their own careers in the profession to demonstrate their understanding of the concepts, approaches, techniques and technologies needed to succeed in BPM.

CBPA certification is more than academic certification or a certificate of instruction. It is designed to independently verify that the person holding the certificate has a sufficient level of basic competence in the field of business process management and has in fact applied these concepts in practical experience.
