Who are CEPAS?

Since 1994, CEPAS have been the market leaders in certifying competence and experience in professional activities.

The CEPAS values are:

• High Professionalism

• Proactive Approach to the Market
• Reliability of CEPAS Trademark
• Impartiality

• The Define phase during which projects are outlined, elements of waste are identified and the management decisions required to move forward.
• The Measure phase which is used to catalogue and analyse existing processes to define an operational baseline that can be used to calculate potential capability of each.
• The Analyse phase uses statistical analysis and testing to model how processes may be improved and the potential value of each improvement without affecting existing systems.
• The Improve phase helps students to identify the changes that will deliver the greatest business benefits before putting those plans into action.
• The Control phase monitors each change that is mad and record any deviations from the predicted benefits. The results will then be able to demand what actions should be taken.
