LES Education: We've Got Updates!
PDS Fundamentals:
Following a "summit" meeting on December 7, 2007 among a small group of respected faculty members, LES is proud to announce that the four components of the Fundamentals Course have been updated to form a more integrated whole. We thank Phil Barnett, Patrick Farley, Ada Nielsen, Brian O'Shaughnessy, Jim Vlazny, and Henry Wixon for their contributions to this effort.
PDS Intermediate:
In a separate but equally intense effort, each of the courses in the PDS Intermediate Course has undergone updates, the most "visible" of which is the integration of the former 201 (Legal) and 205 (Licensing) Courses into a day-long course, 201: Patenting, Due Diligence, and Licensing. This adjustment has allowed us to expand the 202: IA/IP Strategy Course from a half to a whole day and better integrate the content with the 203: Valuation Course and the now-final component, 204: Negotiation and Ethics. For their work on the most recent changes to the Intermediate Courses, we thank John Bone, Brad DeSandro, Alan Gordon, Ada Nielsen, Brian O'Shaughnessy, Mohan Rao, Marcia Rorke and Thom Tarnay.
PDS & CLP:
LES has a rich history of offering education programs to provide professional learning opportunities for our members. These programs have been developed over the years by respected professionals with broad knowledge of licensing and deep knowledge in their specialty areas. For licensing professionals interested in earning the Certified Licensing Professional (CLP) designation, we have learned through the role delineation component of the exam development process that the knowledge and skill domains represented on the CLP exam align closely with the content covered in Professional Development Series courses. This is no surprise to veterans of PDS programs, both students and faculty, as the topics covered in these courses were designed to provide participants with a comprehensive view of the licensing profession. |
