The Certified Knowledge Specialist (CKS)

CKS - Taxonomy

CKS - Knowledge Capture for Action

See Calendar of Events for Upcoming Classes
 

How Does it Work?

 

 
We start with the 2-day CKP Program (also available online).  The CKP is the core of the acclaimed Certified Knowledge Manager (CKM), and the foundation for all KMI Certification students.*
 
We then dig deep into your Specialty Topic (Taxonomy, Knowledge Capture, etc), for a 2-day immersive experience we call the "Master Class."

Upon successful completion of the online exam covering both the CKP and your Special Topic, you are a graduate of the Certified Knowledge Specialist Program!
 
Total Time - Two Formats:
- "Traditional" (face to face) = 4-day class, or
- "Blended" (online + face to face) = 10 hours online + 2-day Master Class
 
*Already a KM Institute CKP or CKM Grad?  Earn your CKS by attending our two-day "Master Class" and completing the online specialty exam.  Contact us for details.
