PDMA Chapter Study Group Program

The PROVEN Way to Create a NPDP Prep Program

We have been providing study group programs to PDMA groups for years. It is simply the best method available.

Given the economic conditions, companies may be reluctant to reimburse for NPDP training programs and participants do not want to travel to a highly-priced class.

Instead, use our resources to create your own self-study group. We will tell you how to do it and provide the resources you need.

The steps are simple and proven to be successful:

1. Chapter leadership finds members interested in PDMA’a New Product Development Professional (NPDP) certification.
2. Chapter leadership helps to set up a Study Group -- we provide guidance at no cost to make it easy.
3. Participants register for a private online study group created just for your Chapter.
4. Participants interact through asynchronous collaborative tools and real-time web conferences to hold each other accountable for reading the information.
5. Participants take the NPDP exam and celebrate each others' success!

Benefits for chapter participants: the accountability and peer learning provided by the study groups is the most successful format we have found.

Benefits for PDMA chapters: significantly increase the number of NPDPs participating in your chapter, your group's impact on your community, and your ability to attract new participants.
