LES Progress Report
The development of the Certified Licensing Professional (CLP) exam is right on target and will be awarded to its first set of applicants in July 2008. Here's a look at the multi-step development process, which is being driven by an external professional examination design and development organization. November 2007—Identify Performance Domains. Volunteers met in San Francisco for the "role delineation" (job analysis) determination of the project. LES member volunteers who participated were selected to represent various industries, organization types and backgrounds. The role delineation meeting involved defining the major performance domains underlying the licensing profession. Each domain was then broken down into its knowledge base, primary responsibilities and associated tasks. The following were identified as major performance domains for licensing professionals: Strategy, Intellectual Property Protection, Opportunity Assessment and Development, Valuation, Marketing, Agreement Development and Drafting, Negotiation and Agreement Management. These domains were confirmed through a sampling of a broad representation of the licensing community. January 2008—Generate Test Component Elements. Volunteers met in Tampa for the "item writing" phase of the project. These volunteers, once again drawn from key areas of the LES membership, now acted as subject matter experts. Their role was to generate elements for test components while relying upon the already defined major performance domains and reflecting the specific responsibilities or tasks associated with each domain. March 2008—Finalize Questions and Produce Study Guide. Phase III of the CLP examination development process involved finalizing the series of questions representing the weight and importance of each domain. Equally important was the development of a study guide, which includes Foundation News: UIC Team Updates LES Progress Report: CLP Test Development representative questions to be used for examination preparation. The guide also includes a bibliography of resources that were relied upon for question development. This bibliography should also prove useful to candidates as they prepare for the CLP exam. The study guide will be available in early May 2008. The CLP Board of Governors recognizes and thanks these dedicated volunteers for their help: Julia Bowen, Mary Beth Cicero, Michael Dansky, Paul Germeraad, Robert Goldman, Robert Gruetzmacher, John Jarosz, Willy Manfroy, Michael Martin, Lori Morrison, Michael Lee, Wallace Oliver, John Ramsay, Marcia Rorke, Peter Ross, Jill Rusk, Donna Shaw, Craig Smith, Willard Stanback and Catherine Vorwald.
