Online Crash Course in New Product Development Professional (NPDP) Certification

(8 PDHs for NPDP Recertification)

Strategy 2 Market offers an online version of the PDMA (Product Development and Management Association) NPDP (New Product Development Professional) certification class.  This allows participants to avoid travel, reduce preparation time and save money.

Strategy 2 Market is one of a handful of providers certified to teach the PDMA Certification Review Preparation Course.

This online workshop consists of two half-day sessions and provides a review of the material covered by the NPDP Certification exam.  It is suitable for anyone preparing for the exam.  It identifies the key subject areas on which to focus preparation efforts and provides an assessment tool to help participants evaluate their current level of preparedness for the exam.  Topics include:

PDMA Certification Review Preparation Course:

1. New Product Strategy

2. Portfolio Management

3. New Product Process

4. Tools and Metrics

5. Market Research

6. Teams, People and Organizational Issues

This course is different from the two-day course in that it is fast-paced and focused solely on discussion of the exam material; it assumes the participant already has a good understanding of new product development. 

Prior to the course, participants will receive a package of materials by U.S. mail (expedited delivery is available at an additional charge of $30).  On the days of the course, participants will log into the provided website via their computer and dial into a conference call via their telephone (long distance charges may apply, but we now support VOIP at no extra charge).  Participants will have the ability to see the material on their computer, as well as in their manual, and will hear and participate in discussion via the telephone.  This is an instructor-led course.  Nothing is previously taped, so participants will have the ability to ask questions at any time.

As with the classroom course, a practice exam is provided to help participants assess their level of preparedness for the NPDP certification exam and a Personal Preparation Plan will help participants plan their exam preparation.  The cost is $795 and includes all materials mentioned above.
