Additionally, you’ll receive ongoing access to all program content and updates, ensuring you stay up-to-date with the latest tools and strategies as your career grows.
What’s the difference between the Pro Plan and Fast Track Plan?
Both the Pro Plan and Fast Track Plan offer the same comprehensive skills-building, project reviews, and unlimited support. The key difference is what happens after you’ve developed your OBM skills. In the Pro Plan, you’ll create your own marketing assets using our templates and group coaching sessions for guidance. In the Fast Track Plan, through our Visionary Business Program, we handle the creation of your marketing assets for you, providing a customized strategy and fast-tracking your business launch.
How do I earn the Certified OBM® credential?
Certification is awarded through Certification Week, hosted by the International Association of Online Business Managers (IAOBM). You’ll demonstrate your skills in real-world scenarios, managing teams and projects efficiently. Upon passing the exam, you’ll earn the Certified OBM® designation.
Can I still earn the certification if I don't want to start my own business?
Absolutely! While the program includes a robust business launch component, many students have used the skills and certification to advance their careers without starting a business. Whether you're aiming for higher-level operational roles or seeking to take on more strategic responsibilities in your current position, the program equips you with versatile skills that are highly valuable across various career paths.
Is certification necessary to succeed in online business management?
No, certification isn’t required to work in online business management or operations. However, earning the Certified OBM® designation is a valuable mark of professionalism and commitment. It’s awarded through rigorous training and a final evaluation by a committee from the International Association of Online Business Managers (IAOBM), led by the founder of the OBM profession.
