The Certified Analytics Professional (CAP®) has long represented the highest standard of analytics excellence. Now we're taking that recognition even further.
Today, INFORMS introduces CAP-Expert (CAP-X) – our enhanced senior-level certification that validates your ability to lead complex analytics initiatives and drive organizational success. This launch is part of our certification program expansion, supporting analytics professionals throughout their careers.
The enhanced CAP-Expert certification features:
- More detailed performance expectations for each domain
- Real-world scenarios focused on strategic decision-making
- New emphasis on leading teams and setting priorities
- Clearer guidance for exam preparation
Ready to become CAP-Expert certified?
Join our beta testing window January 27-March 2, at a special reduced rate of $350 (up to 45% off regular pricing). Or prepare for the full launch in March 2025.
Already a CAP holder?
If your CAP was earned and maintained before January 27, 2025, it will automatically transition to CAP-Expert in March 2025. No additional testing is required, and your current recertification cycle remains unchanged.
Looking ahead, we're introducing two additional certifications:
- CAP-Essentials (CAP-E): Early-career certification launching spring 2025
- CAP-Pro (CAP-P): Mid-career certification launching late 2025
