About CPC Program Measurement

The Strategic Learning Alliance has created a certification process built around simulated-applied experiences, testing, and learning-based reflection. To this end, all certifications including the CPC are measured through the SLA as a third party credentialing agency.
This process includes:

  1. learning about negotiations from approved providers using the Professionalism: Effectively Applied Knowledge (PEAK™) Theory;
  2. engaging in a simulated negotiation environment where by candidates reflect on their past negotiations, engage a process to plan and prepare for a future negotiation, and present a negotiation plan meeting the best practices of a certified professional negotiator.
Through this experience, lasting approximately one week, individuals will complete a pre-test and post-test on negotiation specific content and best practice of performance-leadership; analyze a situation and apply a negotiation process to plan and prepare for a negotiation; reflect on their performance in prior negotiations and submit a reflective plan for improving their performance as a negotiator.
