Mickie Rops Consulting LLC

Taking your credentialing and standards programs beyond the traditional, beyond the status quo, and beyond your expectations.

Learn: Immersion Retreats

Conferences are a great way to catch up with colleagues and learn a few nuggets to apply back at the office.  Books, webinars and online courses provide basic information.  But where can you get in-depth training on certification, certificate programs, standards and accreditation from trusted industry experts?  Our new Credentialing Academy!  We are now offering both virtual and face-to-face learning opportunities exclusively for credentialing professionals. 

Expect more to come, but immersion retreats are offered now!

Why?   Opportunity to immerse and learn the requirements of the ISO 17024 or ASTM E2659 standard and develop your organization’s key systems and policies in a group setting with guidance from an industry expert.  Less cost than individual consulting; same personalized consulting experience; added opportunity to learn from and share models with peers.  Limited to 6 organizations (with those committed first giving approval on other participants to ensure no competitors).  Perfect for those wanting to ensure their systems and policies are accreditation-ready, but organizations wanting to improve operations but not sure about accreditation are certainly welcome too.


What and How?
• Pre-retreat review of your program (based upon your completion of a questionnaire and provision of key documents)
• Pre-retreat copy of 17024 Unlocked or E2659 Unlocked handbook of terminology and coISO_17024_Unlocked_Cover_for_Kindlencepts
• Two-day onsite for 1 or 2 of your management team for in-depth education on the standard and accreditation requirements and guided development of key systems and policies customized for your organization
• Licensed use of documented systems and policies proven to meet the standard’s requirements, customized for your organization
• Provision of a model accreditation application (for ANSI only)
• Post-retreat, one private post-retreat review and critique of your management system and policy drafts
• Post-retreat, monthly follow-up group teleconferences on topics selected by the group (for four months)

ISO 17024 – Certification Program Standard

ASTM E2659 – Certificate Program Standard
When and where?  TBD (when and where do you need it?!)

Who?  Most sessions will be presented by Mickie Rops, a respected and experienced credentialing consultant.  Mickie has worked in credentialing for over 20 years and has assisted organizations across industry sectors in establishing and improving credentialing programs and in meeting the ISO 17024 standard and E2659 standard.  In addition to her consulting practice, she currently serves as the lead technical expert and lead ANSI trainer for the E2659 standard, and as an assessor for ANSI’s accreditation of certification programs.
