Frequently
Asked Questions
What types of certifications are available?
The
eKnowledgeCenter offers a combined certification of
competency in Knowledge Management (CKM) and Knowledge
Environment Engineering (CKEE). For competency
assurance we provide an online exam which is available
after completion of the online courses and online or
face-to-face workshop. This exam process
distinguishes the eKC Certified Knowledge Manager
training program from all other certification programs
available in the market today which usually offer a KM
Certification after completion of their seminar or
workshop. We consider these certifications
evidence of workshop attendance or completion rather
than certifications of competency.
Why become certified?
Continued
professional development is a necessity in today's
business world. As more organizations adopt the
use of KM methods and practices, the need for qualified
KM professionals will continue to grow. The eKC Certified
Knowledge Manager (CKM) designations provide assurance
to employers of participation in a first-class program
based on standards established by the KMCB (Knowledge
Management Certification Board).

participants come from many varied industries -- business

product organizations to name a few.
Is this "just" an e-reading course?
The course program is built into an extremely
complicated interactive database driven website that was developed over a 3 year
period costing over 1 Million US Dollars. When people say "elearning
course" they usually mean "what you see is what you get". There is a lot
more going on here than "meets the eye".
What
are the face-to-face and online workshops like?
The face-to-face and
online workshops immerse students in the
"hands on" use of real KM methods and
tools. The workshops are from 24 to 40 hours of instruction and interaction over
3 to 5 days.

You gain access to a
complete and comprehensive KM educational program, the opportunity to
network with other certified knowledge professionals, and the confidence to return to work
with a fresh perspective and the knowledge that you
