Hi. I’m Mickie Rops, Founder. I know how it feels to be underequipped and overwhelmed. Years (okay, decades) ago, I got my first job in credentialing and managed the simultaneous startup and operation of 3 certifications and 10 competency assessments, working with 6 different vendors. I definitely did not know what I didn’t know.
Fast forward over 25 years, now as a consultant, I’ve helped hundreds of organizations make the decision to offer credentialing (or not!) and design, get accredited, expand and improve their credentialing programs. I’ve learned a lot along the way – what works, what doesn’t and why.
Now, I'm flipping the traditional consulting model to better meet organizations where they are by offering opportunities to learn, DIY guides, and facilitated services. And, yes, we'll still be here to provide full-service consulting when needed.
We are here to help, when and how you need it.
We also believe you should not be handcuffed by consultant or vendor contracts. You should have choices.
That’s why we offer four levels of support, so you can choose what works best for your organization:
For those just getting started, we have free and low cost articles and videos.
For those who want a deeper dive, we are developing comprehensive master classes.
Our Do It Yourself digital products provide foundational knowledge and guide you through a process to the outcomes you need. They include videos and downloadable backgrounders, tools, and templates.
With our Done With You consulting, you partner with an expert who guides and keeps you on track and ensures quality results.

Need to decide if credentialing is right for your organization? Need a readiness-for-accreditation audit? Need to conduct a job task analysis?
Have a challenge or opportunity and don't know where to start? Got an accreditation nonconformity that you don’t know how to close?
