Accredited Competency Professional (ACP)

INTRODUCTION

Organisations that identify competencies critical to their business and skill their people accordingly, gain a competitive advantage which others would find difficult to duplicate.

For high returns on investment, the use of competency management for acquisition, deployment and development of talent has to be enterprise-driven and supported by management. Only a few organisations have successfully leveraged the business impact of competencies.

The ACP programme is a comprehensive five day training to enable you to implement the competency framework in organisations. You will gain skills essential for smooth management of competencies and learn from organisational best practices.

Successful participants will receive certification from SMR. A SMR accreditation lets you into a select group of outstanding competency professionals, who are recognised internationally for their high impact consulting style and competency expertise. Accredited Competency Professionals are licensed to consult using SMR's proprietary materials and have access to all materials published by SMR. They also will have the exclusive use of proprietary material available through the website. All accredited professionals will learn how to use HRDPowerTM, the competency based software.
