PDA Certifications

2011 was an important year in terms of "PDA Analyst Certification" for several reasons. Throughout the year a total of 191 new PDA Analysts were certified. This is already a point of pride as it exceeded the 2008 figure where 140 analysts were certified. We also almost doubled the 111 certificates in 2010. Of the 191 new PDA Analysts certified in 2011, about 176 were certified through on-site seminars and 15 through remote activities, namely through an initial training based on E-Learning and then exercises and conferences via Skype.

Another point of pride was the successful implementation of E-Learning, which undoubtedly contributed greatly, not only to the amount of certified analysts this year but also to the quality of the activity. As you all know, early last year, we added to the PDA certification process a first stage based on E-Learning. Then, in response to comments and suggestions provided by participants, last November we implemented the new version, which is shorter, more dynamic and includes several improvements over the first version. We consider the functionality of the E-Learning valuable for our PDA Partners and Customers, not only as part of the new PDA Analyst Certification, but also, and above all, as a good alternative to consultations and a "refresher" on knowledge. We remind you that you can register and access this via the following link:http://elearning.pdainternational.net.

Currently, PDA E-Learning is only available in Spanish, however we are already working on its translations into English and Portuguese. Following this, we will translate it into additional languages.

A third point of pride for our PDA Certifications is the new PDA Certification for Certifiers Process, a process that began in late 2010 and which is only in its early stages. This process is to prepare, train and provide support and materials to those who are initiated in the path of "Certifying PDA". Today, we can congratulate Carlos Tetamanti of Krut Consult - PDA Brazil, a Bussadori of ID Expansive - PDA Italy and MariaVillaraviz of Adecco Training - PDA Spain, who have already given their first PDA Seminars ... Congratulations
