The Federal CPIC Forum is the Patent-Pending Owner of the Capital Planning Professional Intellectual Property Rights.

ESI International, Federal Concierge LLC and Government Training, Inc. are presently approved to offer Forum-Approved Capital Planning and Investment Control Courses that are eligible for Capital Planning Professional (CPP) certification credit. Additional training venues will be considered based upon submitting materials for review and certification and any appropriate licensing requirements. Government Horizons training provided prior to 2009 through Federal Concierge LLC, only with a signed CPP-certified instructor certificate that remains eligible for grandfathering credit. We will review the submitted certificates to determine if the certificate is authentic upon submitting a CPP Grandfathering Application.

Government Horizons CPIC courses taught by non-certified instructors, using non-certified materials and/ or taught presently are ineligible for CPP credit. Government Horizons is not an authorized CPP vendor, having lost their eligibility in 2009. Government Horizons has formally been issued a “Cease and Decist” notice by the attorney of Intellectual Property holders for continuing to advertise CPP eligibility and for repeated violations. Government Horizons and GSA have been notified that their eligibility for delivery of certified courses has been withdrawn.

If you have questions about obtaining CPP-certified CPIC training, and need to check the status of a vendor with the CPIC Forum, feel free to contact us at assistant@cpicforum.org.
