Assignments & Exam

Assignments & Exam

After you have successfully finished all your advanced certificate modules, you’ll work on your final supervised assignment: Bringing it all together and proving your subject matter expertise, you’ll write up a graded case study. The case study topic can be suggested by you (and may relate to one of your real business challenges).  

Once your case study has been approved, you can register for your final oral exam. This exam will cover all CPCI content.
