• Country Boards to coordinate:• Chapter Development• Certification• Workshops/Certification maintenance• Training Providers
• Structure by geography/language combination (have to have local flavor for adoption)
20
Training Provider Program• Purpose
– To accredit organizations and institutions around the world interested in providing continuing education on BPM
• Accreditation– Organizations and institutions that become eligible for
the Training Provider Program will receive the designation of “ABPMP Qualified Training Provider (QTP)” or the corresponding translation in the local language
• Commitment– QTP must express commitment with the continuing
BPM professional education in the long run and uphold ABPMP professional code of ethics and highest standards of conduct
21
Training Provider Program (cont'd)
• Scope– QTP must be capable to providing up-to-date
training in BPM to fully support professional development and career building
– Training Provider Program comprises of two types of agreements: • Professional-oriented training• Academic course
22
Program rules
• A BPM course under the QTP agreement should:– Be aligned to the BPM CBOK
• Enforcing CBOK as the main reference on BPM– Teach around the reference curriculum
proposed by ABPMP Education Committee• Courses content may differ, but the objective to be
achieved may not– Cover theory and practice
23
Program rules (cont'd)
• A BPM course under the QTP agreement should (cont'd):– Be online, face to face, recorded or a
combination of these modes• Permitting flexibility for different audiences and
needs• QTP course coordinator must be a CBPP• Instructors are also encouraged to be
CBPP
24
Program rules (cont'd)
• The local ABPMP Chapter keeps a website in the country’s official language to display QTP names and contact data, along with other information of local interest– This encourages decentralization of website building
and maintaining around the world in native languages rather than being all centralized under ABPMP International website • Examples
– http://www.abpmp-br.org (Brazil)
25
Program rules (cont'd)
• The ABPMP logo can be included in the QTP course folder
• QTP courses are encouraged to provide a feedback form for the students to assess classes
• QTP courses should enable forums for the students to discuss the topics and a mechanism to place questions for the instructors
• QTP should have a page published on its own website to display course details
26
Program rules (cont'd)
• Depending on the performance or violations of the code of ethics or standards of conduct, any QTP can be disaccredited
• In order to become a Training Provider, the organization or institution must submit to the local ABPMP Chapter a course description showing the disciplines, content, sequencing, instructors, teaching mode
27
Program rules (cont'd)
• For Training Organizations ONLY (not applicable for Academic Institutions)– 8% of the gross revenue (or a flat fee) must
be transferred to the ABPMP in the country as an accreditation fee
Integration
• Member/Brand association• Recognition of members and their
accomplishments– Certification
• Qualified Training Providers– Will market ABPMP and Certification to
people/members
Training Provider Integration• Publish Model Curricula to QTPs and Universities• QTP’s must be CBPPs• Must all be enabled by Qualified Training Provider Program
– Quarterly “Bootcamps” that precede a planned certification exam at specified locations around the country.
– Bootcamp “track” at Forrester/Gartner/IRM UK BPM Conferences – add an extra day for CBPP exam
• Chapter Events– Internally must be enabled by ABPMP CBPP Bootcamp material (with sample 3 –
5 questions per section)• Action: VP of Education to drive QTP program• Action: Appoint Directors by Geography to orchestrate Chapter
development
30
Reference curriculum
• BPM Basic topics– Introduction to BPM and to the BPM CBOK– Process Modeling– Process Analysis– Process Design– BPMN - Business Process Modeling Notation– Process-oriented Organization, Roles and
Responsibilities– Process Performance Measurement– Process Quality Assurance

reporting; new member type called “QTP”• Have not started build-out of forms or reporting

ABPMP Sponsorship Policies
The Sponsor Relationship• Individuals who work for software vendors are welcome to join the
Association of Business Process Management Professionals (ABPMP) and participate in its activities; however, they must recognize the distinction between practicing and selling, between discussing innovations and promoting their products and services at ABPMP meetings or functions. The following are guidelines for individuals working at software vendor companies who wish to join ABPMP:– Professional (voting membership) is restricted to Individuals who
practice BPM within the vendor company or as a service provided by the vendor to other companies
– Product and sales (or any other area) personnel may join as an associate (non-voting) member.
• The following activities are considered to be unacceptable, and are grounds for censorship and termination of the ABPMP membership:– Promotional letters or emails– Formal hosted events such as organized receptions, social events, golf
outings, or evening events that are scheduled by the vendor locally to compete directly with ABPMP events
Membership List Policy• The Association of Business Process Management
Professionals (ABPMP) under no circumstances will share or exchange its membership list with any commercial organization for any purpose.– ABPMP will send out communications to its members on behalf
of our Sponsors that are part of an event or conference announcement
• In addition to the above statement, the following principles will always apply:– ABPMP will not sell or exchange member lists with any
organization. – ABPMP will maintain complete and accurate records of all uses
of membership and sponsorship/donor lists for at least such time as required by law.
