KM CERTIFICATION STANDARDS

Knowledge Management (KM) Certification, like any other form of professional certification, is “earned from a Professional society” [1] which is defined as a "professional association (also called a professional body, professional organization, or professional society) that is a non-profit organization [2] seeking to further a particular profession, the interests of individuals engaged in that profession, and the public interest." [3] And a non-profit organization is one which “does not distribute its surplus funds to owners or shareholders.” [4])

KMPro is the only international, non-profit, Professional Society in the field of KM and as such, KMPro sets the standards for certification within the KM professional community.
