Simply put – we offer the BEST KM certification and training.

	Are better able to make informed recommendations and decisions about KM.	20-80%
	Are more confident discussing KM with co-workers.	20-80%
	Are more comfortable discussing KM with their boss.	20-80%
	Understand successful KM implementation.	20-80%

* Typical Measured Gains determined by assessment of CKM participants utilizing Level 3 and Level 4 evaluation criteria, in accordance with the “Kirkpatrick Model” which is the most widely used approach to accurately evaluate training effectiveness. Assessment was made of participant's knowledge in these areas prior to training and compared to participant's knowledge after training.

And those gains aren't just for those who are attending KM training or even KM certification for the first time.

Those gains were also seen for those who HAD PREVIOUSLY ATTENDED OTHER KM CERTIFICATION TRAINING!

For example, below are the measured gains for a participant (a senior U.S. Government Knowledge Management Officer) having attended both the KMPro CKM in December 2009 and another KM training program in April 2009. The gain is the assessed increase in participant knowledge AFTER attending the KMPro CKM workshop.

KMPro CKM Training Assessment Area:		Measured Gain
	Are more knowledgeable about KM.	60%
	Are better able to make informed recommendations and decisions about KM.	75%
	Are more confident discussing KM with co-workers.	34%

	Understand successful KM implementation.	80%

KMPro has recently completed the merger of the Knowledge Management Certification Board (KMCB)® into KMPro, which means that the KMPro CKM certification is the ONLY certification recognized by both the ONLY KM certification board and by the largest international KM focused society in the world.

To better support your KM professional development, KMPo CKM certification graduates are also eligible to further their professional development through participation in our advanced Professional Certification Program.

The KMPro “Advantage” also provides to all attendees of our certification workshops additional collaboration and networking benefits including becoming a part of an existing private KM certification “Community of Practice” being included within the KMPro LinkedIn Group and chapter networking opportunities.
