How it works

Choose a speciality area to strengthen your knowledge via one of our appointed partner instituitions.
This stage is optional, but recommended. If you’re familiar with the topic, you can start with Step 3.

Apply what you’ve learned in a business project. You’ll need to have a Project Sponsor who will supervise and confirm your application of skills.

- Project outcomes (Value created to the business)
*You may submit a current, upcoming or past project completed within the last 2 years.
- Appoint and onboard a Project Sponsor on his/her expected role in the application process before submitting the relevant information. Your Project Sponsor will be notified to verify your content submission.
