The Certified Personnel Consultant (CPC) program offers staffing professionals an opportunity to attend industry-specific workshops on 5 core course modules. These half-day sessions are hosted in cities across Canada based on member demand.
Basic eligibility requirements to participate in the sessions are:
The Certified Personnel Consultant (CPC) modules were developed in 2003/04 by a group of Canadian professors and have been continuously updated and improved by industry experts. All modules are designed to include required knowledge as well as open dialogue on participant and instructor experiences.
Effective July 2010 ACSESS exemption policies and knowledge requirements to complete the Certified Personnel Consultant (CPC) program was enhanced to reflect improvements adopted in the U.S. Other program improvements currently being explored include webinars and other opportunities to make this important program easily available to members in all regions of Canada.
Following completion of the required number of modules, the final step in attaining the Certified Personnel Consultant (CPC) designation is successful completion of the national examination which can be written in locations across the country. There is no study guide for the examination which is a culmination of student knowledge acquired through attendance at Certified Personnel Consultant (CPC) workshops and prior industry experience. Please note: that to write the examination, a candidate must have successfully completed the on-line Level 1 Test.
