It seems like an uncomplicated relationship; build an educational program that prepares individuals to demonstrate their qualifications to practice and develop an assessment that supports the credentialing of professionals with the recognition of demonstrated competency in their discipline. But it’s not that simple!

This panel session will address the operational, governance, and business considerations that credentialing organizations should address when either partnering with- or establishing themselves as an educational provider. The facilitators will address business considerations such as market demands, revenue streams, and opportunities for new customers. We will look at governance models and share ideas regarding the optimization of organizational structures and resource allocation. The panel will also address some educational design considerations and how content and learner delivery models may impact program management.

The session attendees will be invited to fully engaged in the panel discussion and encouraged to share their experiences and “words of wisdom” with their peers.
