A micro-certification is a niche course targeting the development of one skill or competency. These training courses offered by The KPI Institute are different from its Certifications Programs from several perspectives: there are no pre-course and post-course assignments, the course duration is shorter, there is no Certification Exam.
The Certificate in Performance Measurement Maturity Assessment is a micro-certification training focused on enabling participants to audit the performance measurement practices of organizations, by providing not only a standard evaluation methodology but also the fundamental best practices in the measurement of organizational performance.
The maturity assessment methodology explored during the course is the proprietary knowledge of The KPI Institute and Global Performance Audit Unit, developed after 10 years of research and practitioner experiences in the area of performance measurement and KPI usage.
Professionals enrolled in this course have the opportunity to access one-time, free of charge, the full assessment tool: Performance Measurement Maturity Model Framework v2.0, and conduct evaluations of practices in the following areas:
* KPI Selection
* KPI Documentation
* Target Setting
* Data Gathering
* Data Visualization
* KPI Governance
Evaluation
The course has short quizzes after each module which enables the participant to monitor the ongoing progress in acquiring new knowledge and skills. At the end of the program, there is a final learning assessment test for the evaluation of competencies. The micro-certificate is granted if the participant completes all course activities and if the minimum score for the final test is achieved. The final learning assessment test can be taken 3 times in case of failure to register the minimum result of 70% correct answers.
