In the upcoming months we will launch a new look and feel for the web site which will make it easier to find information. We will be expanding the member profile to include pictures, twitter and blog addresses and much more. We will also be reorganizing the member library and allow you to search by topic and see all items that apply. i.e. best practices, white papers, webinars, conference presentations, ask-an-expert questions.We will have an expanded career center that will allow you to post resumes. And of course will be having additional updates as part of the recent member survey.
The CISP® accreditation is a web-based, on-line program which includes a comprehensive, 10-module preparatory coursework, followed by a final "live sales call" role play exam. Applicants are expected to complete the entire coursework in about 8 weeks, prior to sitting for their final exam. Each course includes study and learning of the competencies required to successfully pass the final examination. In addition, candidates work through practice simulations, observe audio recordings of sales calls, and take course-ending tests. Each course-ending test must be successfully completed before moving on to the next course. The proprietary "BrainX" on-line learning system used throughout the course work helps each candidate master the content and prepare them for a successful final exam outcome.Includes Researching, using social media
