Choosing the right professional development for your career can be a challenge, which is why INFORMS created the Professional Education Partner (PEP) program. The PEP program was designed to help analytics and O.R. professionals find a wide variety of reliable, high-quality professional development programs that deliver value and improve analytics practice. Whether the course is delivered online or in-person, each course listed in the PEP directory has been vetted by INFORMS and allows participants to earn valuable professional development units (PDUs). PEPs can be universities, training companies, software providers, professional associations, consultants, etc., because like your career, your professional learning doesn’t always fit neatly into a box. The PDUs earned through these non-credit-bearing courses can be used by CAP and aCAP certificants to satisfy the 30 PDUs needed to renew their certification every three (3) years.
