  Top 10 Reasons To Become A CIAC-Certified Management Consultant
 
How To Become A CIAC-Certified Management Consultant 
To achieve the professional designation of CIAC-Certified Management Consultant requires successful completion of a four-part assessment process that validates mastery-level competency in call center business operations and management practices. Competence is defined by the Call Center Management Consultant Competencies.  These industry-defined competencies delineate job role-specific call center knowledge, skills and attributes across four domains: 
  • People Management
  • Call Center Operations
  • Customer Relationships
  • Leadership and Business 
Certification testing for the CIAC-Certified Management Consultant designation consists of:
  • Four (4) Objective Assessments 
The assessments correspond to the four competency domains and each consist of 60-80 multiple choice, scenario-based questions.  Testing is delivered online, administered by a CIAC-registered Proctor in a secure environment at the candidate's workplace or a CIAC-approved testing facility.  Candidates typically test in one competency domain per testing session; however, any two or more of the assessments may be completed in a single testing session.  Certification requires a minimum 75% pass score on each of the four assessments.  Candidates are allowed to retest if a passing score is not achieved.  Upon request, CIAC provides candidates with feedback to assist retesting preparation.
 
Two years are allowed to complete CIAC Certification Testing. 
 
Upon successful completion of all certification testing requirements, candidates are awarded a Certificate of CIAC Certification that formally recognizes achievement of the CIAC-Certified Management Consultant  designation.
 
Recertification is required every three years to maintain an active CIAC-Certified Management Consultant designation.
 
 
Candidates are encouraged to complete the Self-Assessments as the first step in the certification process. The Self-Assessments enable candidates to compare their current knowledge and skills against job role competency requirements to identify areas where training and/or job experience may be necessary to ensure successful certification testing. The Self-Assessments can also be used to identify a candidate's strongest competency area(s) for determining a logical starting point for training and/or certification testing.  They can also be used to to conduct a team gap analysis, e.g., to identify the collective competency strengths and weaknesses of a call center management team.  The Self-Assessments are provided to candidates free of charge after purchase of CIAC Certification.

“The comprehensive nature of CIAC Certification truly ensures that professionals are able to anticipate the impacts of decisions on the call center and customers. I feel privileged to be credentialed in the four competency areas. The certification process allowed me to fill in knowledge gaps and to creatively apply my experience.  The recertification process is a terrific way to affirm that I am staying abreast of changes within the industry. I strongly encourage other call center consultants and managers who wish to positively impact customer service delivery in call centers to become CIAC-Certified.”
