New Opportunity: In-Person TBM Practitioner Certification Course

At Rego University 2026, we are hosting the first-ever in-person cohort of the modernized TBM Council Practitioner Course & Certification, built around TBM Framework 5.0

This 2-day certification course takes place April 26-27 at the Royal Sonesta Chicago, and can be added onto the Rego University Apptio Summit, April 27-29, 2026.

Take it from me, someone who lives and breathes TBM, this is the TBM training event of the year. You’ll be able to build a strong TBM foundation with the TBM Practitioner Course & Certification, and then expand that knowledge during RegoU’s Apptio Summit with dynamic function/strategic/technical classes, real-world examples, and dialog with peers in similar situations.

Why Certified TBM Practitioners Matters Now

TBM has always been a strategic discipline. The updated TBM Framework and Taxonomy version 5.0 better articulates how to adopt and operationalize that discipline inside modern technology organizations.

The framework keeps pace with the needs of today’s technology environment, including:

The updated framework provides more tangible ways to understand and adopt TBM beyond building a cost model. It clarifies and positions outcomes, value drivers, governance disciplines, and the foundations required to sustain a TBM practice.

Today’s technology leaders are operating under increasing pressure.

When TBM works:

This course will help develop your TBM skills and empower you to:

TBM is a globally recognized discipline with defined standards maintained by the TBM Council. Practitioner certification ensures alignment with those standards and provides a common language for implementation. This course is not about collecting a credential, it’s about refining your capability as a TBM practitioner.

What You Walk Away With

If you are new to TBM, this certification course provides structured clarity. You will understand the architecture of the framework, how value flows through the model, and how governance disciplines support strategic outcomes.

If you are experienced, this course sharpens your understanding of the updated framework and taxonomy and reinforces how to apply them effectively.

The TBM practitioner certification course is designed to give you a practical foundation for modeling, planning, and managing the value of technology across domains. This course is not abstract theory. It is structured to help you strengthen governance, improve alignment, and drive measurable value from your TBM practice.

This matters because:

• Finance teams need defensible cost models and forecasting discipline
• Product leaders need transparency into unit economics
• Cloud teams need financial accountability tied to architecture choices
• Executives need a common language to govern technology investment

By the end of the course, you will:

• Demonstrate a strong command of the updated TBM Framework
• Understand how to build and interpret a foundational TBM model
• Be prepared to deliver core TBM use cases
• Gain practical insight into applying TBM across finance, product, cloud, and strategy
• Connect with a peer network of practitioners
• Earn the Certified TBM Practitioner (CTBMP) credential from the TBM Council

This credential signals credibility, but the real benefit is increased confidence in your model, your governance structures, and in the value story you bring to executives.

Why Choose Rego’s In-Person CTBMP Practitioner Course & Certification?

Let’s face it – you get more from an in-person experience

This is the first in-person offering of the redesigned TBM Council Practitioner Course & Certification. You will build a strong foundation in the updated framework through a structured, interactive learning environment led by TBM experts who understand both the standards and their application inside real organizations.

We will work through the modernized framework in a collaborative, immersive setting, where you can:

This cohort is intentionally interactive. You’re not passively consuming content. You will work through the framework with other practitioners who are applying TBM in active environments. The exchange of real-world experiences is one of the most valuable elements of practitioner development.
