CDI’s learning platform uses a state-of-the-art, blended learning approach with resources that you can easily access at any time. You get instruction through concise, online videos – each packed with practical, step-by-step instructions. Short quizzes affirm your learning from each course.

Concurrently, you can frequently share questions, answers and resources with other learners and faculty in the facilitated, online discussion group. Faculty share frequent tips and have decades of experience in teaching consulting skills.

You access numerous step-by-step tools that you can immediately download to use and share with others. The videos specify when to use each tool during your consulting.

You also access a portal with 1000s of online, free, supplemental resources related to consulting. You use your private Learning Journal to document your ongoing learning and development.  Faculty share feedback to each Journal submitted by students enrolled in a Certificate-Series.
