Pricing Executives Now Have Their Own Certification Program

Professional Pricing Society (PPS) announces the launch of the Certified Pricing Professional (CPP) designation for pricing professionals and executives.

ATLANTA, GA (PRWEB) December 2, 2005 -- Today the Professional Pricing Society (PPS) announced the launch of the Certified Pricing Professional (CPP) designation for pricing professionals and executives. The CPP is a new multi-staged program designed to better support, educate, and elevate the pricing professional.

“With the increased importance of pricing to the success of today’s corporations, our members and the profession are asking for an educational program to certify that pricers not only have a working understanding of pricing strategies and techniques, but also have training on specific pricing issues unique to their industry,” said Eric Mitchell, PPS President. “We will accomplish this with a broad curriculum taught by leaders in the pricing profession followed by rigorous testing.”

We have brought together the Dream Team of Pricing to teach the two-day workshops. We have professors, authors, and leaders in our profession teaching the workshops

If someone is primarily interested in pricing training/learning, and not pursuing a CPP designation, these workshops are still a perfect fit. Participants will still receive a course certificate after passing the workshop test.

The courses each earn two credits toward the CPP designation and are designed to be highly interactive with theory, tactics, and case studies to enhance the learning experience. “We have brought together the Dream Team of Pricing to teach the two-day workshops. We have professors, authors, and leaders in our profession teaching the workshops,” said Mitchell.
