Who Should Take a CKS Online Course?

The CKS courses are designed to meet the needs of:

  • New KMI students looking for a solid foundation in KM principles plus a "deep dive" into a special topic

  • Past KMI Grads holding either the CKP™ or CKM designation who would also like to explore a specialty topic
     

Which CKS Topic is right for you?  Choose from the following:

Change Management

Learn proven Change Management techniques for success.
 

Information Architecture

Learn IA and Enterprise Content Management strategy and best practices to build your own IA initiative.
 

Social KM / Collaboration and Communities

Learn how Social Business and KM methods can merge to foster healthy and sustainable Communities within your organization.
 

Knowledge Capture

Learn the proven "Knowledge Jam" method popularized in the book of the same name authored by KMI Instructor, Kate Pugh.
 

Taxonomy

Learn solutions for building your own taxonomy and improving 'findability' in the workplace.

 

Note!  Past Grads (CKP/CKM) can by-pass the "Foundation" course and start with the online Master course; take the exam for your topic and earn CKS Certification.

Testing is part of your Certification package; there are no additional fees, and your Certificate is ready to print immediately after you pass.  A score of 70% on each part is necessary to pass, and you may retake the test as many times as necessary to pass.
