The Certified Analytics Professional (CAP®) program, the premier global professional certification program for analytics professionals, recently unveiled it’s new brand identity package, including a new website and URL, explainer video and other material.

CAP’s new website can be seen at www.certifiedanalytics.org. There, visitors will have easy access to key information about becoming a Certified Analytics Professional. In addition, the website explains how organizations can add value to their workforce and enhance business outcomes, while individuals who are just beginning their analytics careers can learn more about the Associate CAP designation expected to launch this fall.

As part of CAP’s rebranding, a new animated explainer video has been created that can be viewed on the CAP website as well as on YouTube.

CIO Magazine named CAP one of “13 big data certifications that will pay off.”

The Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS) launched CAP in 2013. Those who meet CAP’s high standards and pass the rigorous exam distinguish themselves and create greater opportunities to enrich their careers. For organizations seeking to enhance their ability to transform data into actionable insights that create greater value, CAP provides a trusted means to identify, recruit and retain top analytics talent.

CAP exams are available through a computer-based testing format, INFORMS continues to host paper-and-pencil exams at selected sites, notably at INFORMS conferences. The next such exam will be held in Philadelphia on Nov. 4 in conjunction with the INFORMS Annual Meeting. To take this or any CAP exam, you must first apply at https://www.certifiedanalytics.org/apply.php and be approved for the CAP examination.

As always, applications remain open for the continuously available computer-based examinations. Test on your schedule and put CAP after your name. For more information, see www.certifiedanalytics.org.
