International Leader in
Accredited
Technical Training Since 1967
PUBLIC, ONSITE & ONLINE
The Center for Professional Advancement (CfPA) is dedicated to
providing accredited technical training and continuing education
throughout the world. We are one of the largest non-degree awarding
organizations offering professional level accredited training courses in a
variety of formats including public training, customized onsite technical
training (Client-Site), and interactive online
technical training.
Since our founding in 1967, we have successfully
trained nearly 500,000 professionals from small and large companies, government
and academia. Our prominent reputation has earned us high recognition by
thousands of companies who consider us to be an integral part of their
technical training programs.
COURSES
Our extensive curriculum of technical training courses - which includes
over 350 courses in 18 applied industrial technologies - cover every
aspect of an operation from planning and design, research and
manufacturing to maintenance and management, and beyond. These technical
courses, which include hundreds of pharmaceutical training and biotechnology
training courses, not only cover basic concepts but "how to" apply
these concepts, as well as the new advances, cutting-edge technology and
current regulations.
After participation in a CfPA technical training
course – whether through a public training course, an onsite technical
training course, or an online technical training course - participants have
reported they not only have expanded their expertise in their present
positions, but were also able to assume new and greater responsibilities.
INSTRUCTORS
CfPA knows that the reputation and success of our technical training
courses rests upon the quality of our instructors. Our Course Directors
and faculty are carefully selected for their expertise in specific
technical fields, for their current practical knowledge and for their
didactic ability.
Because of our international recognition, CfPA is
able to draw upon the very cream of world-renowned professionals from industry,
government, academia and consulting organizations to instruct our technical
courses, which include hundreds of pharmaceutical
training and biotechnology training
courses as well as courses in 17 other industries.

participants are immersed without distraction. A smaller class size sets
an atmosphere that encourages interaction between participants and
instructors through questions, workshops and case studies.

CfPA HISTORY –
CELEBRATING OVER 40 YEARS OF PROVEN RESULTS!
The year 2007 marked an important milestone for The Center for
Professional Advancement (CfPA): Our 40th Anniversary! In 1967, The Center for Professional Advancement's founder, Dr.
Saul Gordon, determined that a new approach to continuing professional
education was needed for practicing scientists and engineers at the post
baccalaureate level. Although occasional technical training seminars and
courses were offered during the summer season on the campuses of a few
universities, there was no central location where a broadly based curriculum of
professional technical education was regularly offered on a year round basis in
the intensive short course format. From his former academic, government and industrial consulting
experience, Dr. Gordon knew that for such education to be relevant, and of
practical value, it was mandatory that the technical training course be
pragmatically oriented, cover very specific well-defined subject areas, and be
taught by professionals actively engaged in the field. This meant that such
technical training courses would have to be organized and offered outside the
confines of the conventional university curriculum.
Furthermore, a mechanism had to be established which would constantly search
out significant new technical areas or changes in established areas and refine
that material into viable course subjects suitable for CfPA's intensive
instructional format. Since this could only be done in concert with
professionals engaged in the field, it required establishing a network of
practicing scientists and engineers located throughout industry, government,
universities, and in private consulting practices who could assist in the
primary task of defining these significant new technologies, and then serve as
the course organizers and principal lecturers.
It was Dr. Gordon's insight and unique approach that gave CfPA
its special place in the world of continuing professional education then, and,
now 40 years later, it is that same approach that continues to place CfPA as
the international leader in technical accredited training. No matter what
format of training you use – Public, Client-Site or Online - you can be
assured of receiving the tools that will make a difference when you return to
your position.
