Do you have any information regarding the NPDP certification from the PDMA? Thanks,
Hi Oscar,
The PDMA New Product Development Professional (NPDP) Certification confirms mastery of new product development principles and best practices, enabling continual improvement in job performance and helping corporations identify those individuals with the knowledge and experience to move into leadership positions in the area of new product development.
To qualify for NPDP Certification, candidates must meet the necessary criteria in education, experience and knowledge, and pass a comprehensive examination. Once you have obtained your NPDP Certification, you can maintain and expand your professional knowledge by acquiring sixty (60) Professional Development Hours (PDH) every three years to qualify for recertification. These PDH's can be achieved in a variety of ways including attendance at PDMA and other conferences.
