CBP (IBTA) INFORMATION AND RESOURCES

Olean Business Institute (OBI) is a leader in business and professional training and has been for over forty years. OBI, in partnership with the International Business Training Association (IBTA), is proud to offer the Certified Business Professional (CBP) Series Program.

The CBP Program is an international industry credential that helps business professionals establish a strong base from which to start their careers. Industry veterans can reintroduce themselves to the basic rules of business practice and renew their commitment to excellence in the dynamic world of business. The CBP series develops important life-skills that transcend the work environment into many aspects of living. The typical candidate is committed to the pursuit of excellence in all aspects of life and wishes to exceed all the standards set for business professionals. Benefits of the program include:

  • Certified individuals can demonstrate technical and business skills with a widely recognized certification.
  • Potential employers can qualify, screen and measure job candidates based upon the candidate’s successful completion of certification.
  • The courses can serve to refresh and energize current employees.
  • CBP courses are excellent training programs for companies who do not have the resources to implement their own.
  • CBP Professionals discover important tools to enhance communication and teamwork.
  • CBP Professionals have the skills to feel confident in situations that once were stressful.
The workshops, lectures, simulations, and hands-on sessions provide the training and learning environment to maximize the candidate’s potential. Each course is designed for the professional who has little or no experience, or any person committed to the pursuit of excellence in his/herfield. After every course, each student will receive a copy of the course manual for post-class reference and review. Each module prepares candidates to sit for the exam pertinent to that course. Testing is available through approved Prometric Authorized Testing Centers (ATCs).

Courses are instructor facilitated. Each of the core courses runs 10-20 hours. We can come to your site, offer the courses at our facilities, or at a facility in your area (some restrictions apply).

Contact Carl English, OBI's Training Coordinator for more information or to schedule your training.
