Assessors may offer support sessions online or in-person, based on the client\u2019s request and aligned through INCIT\u2019s Star Emblem system \u2014 which helps match businesses with assessors based on country, industry, and expertise.<\/p>\n<p>After the self-assessment is completed, the platform automatically generates a detailed report and transformation roadmap. The relationship between assessor and client \u2014 including any follow-up services or pricing \u2014 is managed independently by both parties. INCIT remains neutral after initial matchmaking and does not set or enforce service pricing.<br \/>\nSupport sessions typically take 2\u20136 hours, with pricing recommended on an hourly basis.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Register<\/h3>\n<p>Eligible Certified Assessors can enrol in the course for EUR 400. To complete the certification, trainees must pass a 50-question multiple-choice examination.<br \/>\nA<strong> step-by-step guide<\/strong> has been prepared to walk you through the process of registering and completing the course.<\/p>\n<p>Access it here: <a href=\"https:\/\/incit.atlassian.net\/wiki\/external\/YmMzYjM0MTM5NmI4NGQ3YTg2ODMyMDg5ZmNkMzg1NGM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Guide<\/a> or scan the QR code. <\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-39114 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.incit.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28170555\/OPERI-QR-Banner-1024x357.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets.incit.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28170555\/OPERI-QR-Banner-1024x357.png 1024w, https:\/\/assets.incit.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28170555\/OPERI-QR-Banner-300x105.png 300w, https:\/\/assets.incit.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28170555\/OPERI-QR-Banner-768x268.png 768w, https:\/\/assets.incit.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28170555\/OPERI-QR-Banner-1536x536.png 1536w, https:\/\/assets.incit.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28170555\/OPERI-QR-Banner-18x6.png 18w, https:\/\/assets.incit.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/28170555\/OPERI-QR-Banner.png 1720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For further enquiries, please contact <a href=\"mailto:contact@incit.org\">contact@incit.org<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>The OPERI \u201cFast Track\u201d Online Training Course is more than a credential \u2014 it\u2019s a gateway to deeper impact and broader reach.<\/strong><br \/>\nJoin us in shaping the future of operational transformation for MSMEs and Small Businesses worldwide.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INCIT is proud to announce the launch of the Operational Excellence Readiness Index (OPERI) \u201cFast Track\u201d Online Training Course \u2014 a self-paced certification programme exclusively for Certified SIRI and COSIRI Assessors.
