"Knowing that recognition is a valuable influencer for the incoming generation of professionals, we partnered with Mickie and her team to conceptualize and then fast-track the development of a comprehensive credentialing ecosystem of badges, certificates, designations, and a new certification that aligned with our learning program.  Mickie’s wealth of experience in credentialing, an unparalleled understanding of ISO 17024, and exceptional project management skills provided us with the confidence to execute a successful blueprint.  In less than 2 years, we transitioned from concepts and guiding principles to issuing digital badges, certificates, and the first certification exams.  Our team was fully engaged, but it took the skill, dedication, and leadership of Mickie to achieve our vision."

"After significant deliberation, we embarked on creating a certification credential for student affairs educators in higher education. We've been fortunate to partner with Mickie Rops Consulting to build this program from the ground up. Anyone who has worked in a higher education setting likely knows that one of our hallmarks is diversity of thought—and not being shy in sharing said thoughts. Mickie and Dave masterfully facilitated an in-person gathering of our subject matter experts and stakeholders.  With the onset of COVID-19, Mickie helped us transition to a virtual process, including the concurrent design of an additional seven specialty credentials in multiple areas. She then helped us design our governance structure and policies in conformance with ISO 17024 to ensure readiness for accreditation."

"Mickie was instrumental in helping us achieve ANAB accreditation for our certificate program. From start to finish, Mickie guided us through the process, helping us establish a system (policies, procedures, and documentation) that met our business needs and was in conformance with industry standards.  We highly recommend Mickie to anyone considering accreditation for their certificate programs."

"Working with Mickie has made a world of difference to us as we’ve embarked on the journey of creating a certification exam for our industry. Our commitment to meeting all best practices during the creation of this certification program has been made attainable through Mickie’s expert leadership. She has walked us through each step of the process, providing thorough but easy-to-understand information while helping us to design the certification scheme, policies and strategies that will lead us into success in the future.



We are thrilled to have found such a skilled partner in this effort and will continue to work with Mickie for every one of our credentialing needs."

Mickie's guidance was instrumental in our design and launch of CRECI in 2019. Her expertise in the ANSI/ISO 17024 standard is second to none.

"As part of our strategic learning goals, we wanted to launch a set of credentials (badges, certificates, and designations) that recognized learner achievement in our new procurement competencies. We looked to Mickie for guidance and expertise. She was quick to provide the structure needed to align with industry standards (ASTM E2659 Standard Practice for Certificate Programs) so that our programs were seen as best in class.  We continue to work with Mickie to review all of our assessments and facilitate their passing scores."

"At ASIS International, we needed the best person to help us evaluate our credentialing program from top to bottom and to make concrete, actionable recommendations to improve our operation. Mickie and her team came, did just that, and so much more. They have been an invaluable partner to our organization."
