Ethics Certification for Professionals

State Board Report

May 2016

Business professionals are being offered a threemodule online, self-paced, interactive program on ethical leadership by the NASBA Center for the Public Trust. CPT launched its "Ethical Leadership Training and Certification" program for business professionals in April, based on the success of its student certification program. The three modules use videos, real world ethical dilemmas discussed by subject matter experts and quizzes to gauge the participant’s understanding. All three modules must be completed to earn the ethical leadership certification.

CPT President Alfonzo Alexander explained: "This training and certification program is designed to help employees recognize ethical issues, resolve ethical dilemmas and create an atmosphere that promotes positive ethical behavior in organizations. At the end of the program, users will have a clear understanding of why ethical leadership is important to both business and career success."

The training was developed through a partnership of CPT with Savant Learning Systems and business ethics professors Drs. O.C. and Linda Ferrell. Information can be found on the CPT website.
