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 in person, customized client site, and interactive online.

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.

OUR COURSES
Our extensive curriculum of technical training courses - which includes over 450 courses in 15 applied industrial technologies - cover every aspect from planning and design, research and manufacturing to maintenance and management…and beyond. These technical 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 an in person training course, an customized client site 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.

OUR INSTRUCTORS
CfPA knows that the reputation and success of our technical training courses rests upon the quality of our subject matter experts. 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.
