| |
| Which program is right for my team? |
| This
depends on the group of people, professional/career goals, as well as job functions.
For example, if your team needs to hone their sustainability skills, the
BOMI-HP® credential would most likely be the solution. |
| |
| Which class do I have to take first? |
| Courses
do not need to be taken in any specific order. However, it is recommended that
students start with a course subject they are familiar with and that directly
pertains to their day-to-day function. BOMI International’s Education Coordinator Team offers excellent support to help you identify the best
starting point. |
| |
| How many days does a class run? |
| This depends on how you
elect to take or schedule the class. Normally an in-person class will last 3-4
consecutive days. But, the class could also be taken using a semester schedule
similar to Instructor-Led Online classes or a variation thereof. For example, a
class could be once a week for 3-4 weeks or could be delivered in the evenings. |
| |
| How long will it take my employees to complete a program? |
| The duration of a program depends on how often a course is taken and the course delivery option chosen. Please note: there is no time limit for completing a program; however, the sooner your employees complete a BOMI International program, the sooner they will be able to fully impact your business. |
| |
| How long will it take my employees to complete a course? |
Courses range from 24-30 hours, except for Ethics Is Good Business® ShortCourse™, which is six (6) hours. The actual time it takes to complete a course depends on the delivery option chosen:

| |
| What are the maximum and minimum number of people to a Corporate Onsite/Group class? |

| |
| Practice and Final Exam |
| When should I take the practice exam? |
| You
are encouraged to take the practice exam during orientation week as a pre-test
to measure your pre-existing knowledge of the course content, and to target
specific areas of content you may need to focus on. It is also a good idea to
take the practice exam after the class experience to gauge what you have
learned and where you need to continue to focus for final exam success. |
| |
| Do I have to take the final exam? |
| Yes
and no. Yes, if you want to get credit for the course and work towards a BOMI
International credential. No, if you just want to refresh or gain knowledge about
a certain subject material and earn a Certificate of Participation. Taking the final
exam is helpful in either case to assess your knowledge on a given subject for
growth opportunities. |
| |
| How is the final exam proctored? |
| All
course exams are proctored at an independent testing center in coordination
with our testing partner, Pearson VUE. |
| |
| What will the final exam look like? |
Our courses offer three types of exams:
- The majority of our exams are 100 multiple-choice questions.
- Newer courses, such as Budgeting and Accounting and our three (3) High-Performance courses have a 50 multiple-choice exam focused on workplace scenarios.
- Ethics Is Good Business® ShortCourse™ is a 30 multiple-choice exam and can be completed online through BOMI International's Learning Portal.
|
| |
| When do I have to take the exam? |
You
are required to take the final exam six (6) months from the time you register
for your course. For example, let’s say you registered for a course on January
10. You would have until June 10 to take the exam without any additional fees.
The retake fee is for an additional extension from the first six (6) months where
that fee was already included in your overall course payment. See our Price Sheet for testing fee information. |
| |
| What happens if I fail the exam? |
| You
will have the opportunity to try again, but will need to pay an Exam Administration fee for
another six (6) month extension to give you time to prepare to retake the exam. See our Price Sheet for administration fee information. |
| |
| Who should I contact with additional questions? |
| Please call 1.800.235.BOMI (2664) Monday-Friday between 9 AM and 5 PM ET to speak with a member of BOMI International's Education Coordinator Team, or e-mail your question to service@bomi.org. We are happy to help you find an educational path that fits your specific needs. |
