Given the trend of staff entering shared services from what is
generally a purely functional background, many are finding
themselves not well-equipped to provide the value-adding,
customer-centric services required by today's ever more savvy
business customers; the SSON certification fills this much-needed
gap in the skill level of the current shared services talent
pool.
In designing this program, SSON has researched skills requirements
and core competencies across a range of functions and industries.
We have taken advice from some of the leading practitioners in the
global marketplace, and are delighted to offer a comprehensive,
monitored online program.
The certification covers 10 areas our advisory board and members
have identified as core skills or competencies. Each competency
will contain approximately 10 modules (including a shared services
focus as well as a module with an outsourcing focus).
Certification is valid for two years from date of
certification.
Successful completion of all e-learning modules in a given
competency lead to a final on-line examination. A pass rate of 80%
applies to all tests.
Current Skills Assessment:
Each interested party starts with an automated on-line assessment
tool, integrated into the program, which highlights key gaps and
therefore identifies areas of heightened focus for the purposes of
the program. In order to complete the program all areas will need
to be covered, but the assessment will highlight the areas of
greatest need.
E-Learning Competencies and Modules:
The certification covers 10 areas we have identified as core skills
or competencies, e.g. customer satisfaction, financial,
contracting, quality assurance, etc.
The program includes a Management Track as well as a Practitioner
Track, aligned to the requirements of individuals' internal
roles.
Each competency will contain approximately 10 modules.
Each competency will include a module with a shared services focus
as well as a module with an outsourcing focus.
Certification
Upon completion of the program, and passing the required tests in
each module, participants will acquire the professional
accreditation Shared Services Outsourcing Professional (SSOP).
Certification is valid for two years from date of
certification.
Once two years have passed, the accreditation can be renewed
through an online refresher exam, which will include any relevant
new learnings that have emerged since the last test was taken. A
minimum pass rate will be required and an administrative fee will
be due.
Successful completion of all e-learning modules in a given
Competency lead to a final on-line examination. A pass rate of 80%
