Online Learning Leaps Ahead

摘要

The Association of Equipment Management Professionals (AEMP) has spent the past several years building its online education portal, AEMPU. org, and recently went global with its asset-management certification program. This most recent move, a year after launching AEMPU.org, eliminates the need for candidates to sit for the Certified Equipment Manager (CEM) exam at AEMP conferences after taking the required courses either online or in person. "The program is up and running," says Stan Orr, CAE, AEMP's president and chief staff officer. "Although candidates can take the tests now at hundreds of national and global locations, extraordinary measures have been established to preserve the integrity of the certification. You can't just walk in and sit for the exam. Testing sites are secure and proctored; anyone taking the test is monitored by a qualified person during the entire exam."
