Content development overview
Shared Assessments maintains certificate and certification course curriculums that define the learner profile, course design, knowledge level, learning objectives, and delivery methods for educational training. Learner profiles for certificate and certification programs are based on an assessment of the skills, expertise, and competencies required to perform third party risk management job functions.
Job or work practice profiles identify the accountabilities based on day-to-day third party risk personnel roles and responsibilities. Learner profiles for each type of course identify any prerequisite education, experience requirements, or advance preparation required for registration and/or course completion. Certain programs may have specific eligibility requirements, proof of experience, employer verification, or any applicable work experience substitution or waivers.
