Tomorrow we will retake an assessment and discuss the results.
You will need to prepare to take the Micro-Enterprise Credential certification exam that focuses on six different areas:
- Self-Assessment Key Terms – demonstrating an understanding of the behaviors required for successful small business employees and owners / entrepreneurs (25% of certification exam questions);
- School versus Workplace Expectations – demonstrating an understanding of how the expectations of the working world are different (and more demanding) than those of high school (5% of certification exam questions);
- Business Structure – demonstrating mastery of a limited number of concepts regarding business organization and the identity of state and federal agencies relevant to small business formation/operation (10% of certification exam questions);
- Credit – demonstrating an understanding of: a) different types of credit; b) key financial terms relevant to credit applications; c) the structure and complexity of different types of credit applications; and d) the cost and availability of different types of credit (25% of certification exam questions);
- Key Financial Terms and Business Concepts – demonstrating an understanding of a limited number of key financial terms and business concepts (30% of certification exam questions);
- Business Ethics and Social Responsibility – demonstrating an understanding of a limited number of concepts regarding business ethics and social responsibility 5% of certification exam questions).
The Micro-Enterprise Credential Certification test will not include computation questions. Computation questions will be on Certiport’s international certification test. But because I know that being able to compute is an essential skill, as we study, we will be computing.
