Why Partner With BDA?

Role within a Global Professional Ecosystem
BDA partners are positioned as contributors to the business development profession, participating in a structured global ecosystem rather than isolated training or academic initiatives.
BDA Partnership Models
The ECP™ model represents the highest level of institutional alignment with BDA certification standards.
ECPs support the validation, endorsement, and quality assurance of certification-related programs, ensuring alignment with global competency and assessment requirements.
The PDP™ model enables organizations to deliver professional development programs that are formally reviewed and recognized within the BDA continuing development framework.
PDPs play a critical role in maintaining professional competence and lifelong learning aligned with BDA standards.
The AKP™ model establishes collaboration with academic institutions seeking to align curricula, courses, and research with globally accepted business development knowledge standards.
AKPs contribute to the academic validation and evolution of the business development discipline.
The SAP™ model represents strategic cooperation with sovereign entities, ministries, chambers of commerce, and professional bodies that shape national and regional business development ecosystems.
SAPs support policy alignment, national capacity building, and large-scale professional adoption of business development standards.
