Certification Path Finder
Eight questions about the seat you sit in and where you are heading. It ends on the VCII programme that fits, the one that comes after it, and the one you should not buy yet. Nothing is captured while you answer.

Where each of the three paths leads
If the diagnostic pointed you somewhere and you want to see what sits at the end of it, these are the roles each certification is built for. Role titles are indicative, not a guarantee of employment.
COPPE, the operating partner seat
CVCA, value creation analysis and diagnostics
CEVP, exit readiness and value realisation
How this recommends
Eight questions across four things that actually determine fit: the seat you sit in, what you are accountable for, how comfortable you are with the arithmetic today, and what you are trying to be next. Each answer weights the programmes rather than eliminating them, so the result is a ranking with a reason attached rather than a single verdict.
Nothing is captured while you answer. The result appears on screen whether or not you give us an email.
What it will tell you honestly
Sometimes the right answer is that none of the certifications is the priority yet, and a primer or the free library is a better use of the next month. The tool says so when the answers point that way. A recommendation that always recommends buying something is not a recommendation.
On the two entry points
COPPE and CVCA are different seats rather than different levels. COPPE is written for the person accountable for a portfolio company delivering its plan. CVCA is written for the person who builds the analysis that says whether it will. Level 1 and Level 2 within each track can be taken in either order, and both are required before Level 3.
