Certification Exam
Upon completing the BSP program successfully, participants can take the Balanced Scorecard Professional Certification exam. The exam is administered online with 40 questions (multiple choice or true/false pulled randomly from a larger pool of questions). There is a one hour time limit to complete the exam and results are posted immediately. A score of 75% is needed to pass. After completing the course requirements, participants will be given a link to register for the exam. Once participants have registered and course completion has been verified, a link for the exam and login information will be provided. Completed exams are scored automatically and the participant and the course facilitator are notified immediately. Certifications will be mailed to the registration mailing address for those that pass. Please allow 4-6 weeks for processing.
Re-certification
There is a re-certification program that is overseen by the Institute Certification Committee. Recertification is based upon earning 50 credits through continuing education, contributions to the field, and on the job experience. BSP Certifications expire on December 31, three years from the year a person originally certified (e.g., if you certified in 2015, regardless of which month of the year, your certification is due for renewal by December 31, 2018). Annual recertification notices are sent as a courtesy in the first quarter of the year in which the individual is due for renewal, and additional reminders are sent throughout the year. Accompanying the reminder notice will be a link to information regarding the recertification process and instructions to access the recertification application form and guidelines.
