How to Become a Certified Business Process Professional (CBPP®)
Step 0: Pre-requisites/Qualifications
See Eligibility and Experience Requirements. There is a major emphasis on experience as a requirement. You will be required to describe in a narrative format that demonstrates your experience in the context of the knowledge areas of the BPM CBOK®. You will also be required describe the BPM projects, what you did on those projects in terms of the situation and the business processes in focus and what you did to improve or transform the business processes. If you are not able to meet this experience requirement, it is suggested that you wait to apply and invest the time to acquire the requisite experience. For those of you who believe you meet the pre-requisite qualifications, you are invited to apply.
Step 1: Prepare
The CBPP® examination is a very rigorous examination structured according to the BPM knowledge areas found in the Guide to the Business Process Management Common Body of Knowledge (BPM CBOK®) and tests your multidisciplinary knowledge and breadth of experience as a BPM Practitioner. You certainly can take advantage of the ABPMP membership by joining a Chapter and/or participating in a Chapter study group. ABPMP International Chapters are uniquely positioned to complement the way you learn best:
• Study the BPM CBOK® and
• Review the CBPP® (coming soon) Study Guide authored by ABPMP members.
• Attend educational sessions at a local Chapter near you or training from the ABPMP International approved Qualified Training Providers to acquire the BPM skills that you can apply in your organization. (Formal course attendance is not a requirement, but ABPMP International recommends that you attend BPM courses for a well-rounded understanding of BPM.)
Step 2: Apply
First you must send (email) in your application to the Certification Committee for consideration for the CBPP® Exam (It can take up to 10 business days to review).
