What is ROI Certification

ROI Certification® is the most comprehensive way to gain the skills, resources, and knowledge to measure the value of projects and programs of all types – down to the financial return on investment (ROI). The program includes a comprehensive learning program surrounding the ROI Methodology®, a systematic approach to program evaluation that is proven to deliver accurate and credible results.
