Enroll in BDPA IT Institute Today!


BDPA Education & Technology Foundation (BETF) actively seeks funding to support the BDPA IT Institute. We strongly believe that the BDPA IT Institute will become a world-class leadership and management online certification program for technology professionals of African descent everywhere.

The BDPA IT Institute supports BDPA members and potential members by promoting career development and leadership competencies through direct online course offerings in leadership and management. The intent of the program is to facilitate career progression and advancement for members. This includes a progression from the associate level certification to the master’s level which transitions individuals into entry-level management and increasing leadership roles. The Institute has formed executive and academic partnerships to support these initiatives.

BETF-Blog subscribers are reminded that the Fall enrollment period is closing soon for the BDPA IT Institute. The courses planned for the Fall term (September 10 thru December 14) are the IT Master Certification taught by Will Bundy, Ph.D. and the PMP Exam Prep taught by Matthew Kioko, PMP. The enrollment for Fall 2007 closes at midnight 9/4 for the PMP Prep and the IT Master courses. Please click here to register for the Fall term.

Brothers & sisters, these are some exciting and rewarding certification programs offered by your organization. You can become a certified 'IT Associate', 'IT Professional', or 'IT Master' or prepare for taking the PMP Exam, all at very competitive rates. The PMP Prep course offers PDUs in addition to the CEUs offered for all the courses.

Taking control of your destiny is just a step away! BETF is working with the BDPA Institute to provide 'hardship scholarships' when necessary for the upcoming Fall 2007 term. Reach out to Dr. Ralph Kindred, BDPA IT Institute Director by phone (800.727-2372) or email (institute@bdpa.org) if you have questions or wish to discuss further.
