CDI Certificates Icon

The self-paced Certificate-Series guide you to develop a skill set in professionalism in consulting, authentic engagement with clients, principles in organizational consulting, collaborative consulting or facilitating strategic planning. Each Certificate-Series includes:

  • Access to three or more courses, depending upon the chosen Certificate-Series
  • Online and self-paced courses for maximum flexibility
  • Access to relevant, practical downloadable tools and resources
  • Clear and concise video presentations
  • Interactive pre- and post-assessments to deepen your learning
  • Personalized, actionable feedback on learning assignments from expert faculty
  • CDI Certificate of Completion emailed upon successful completion
  • Access to a discussion forum with other learners and faculty

CDI’s Certificates are Certificates of Completion for completing a Certificate-Series.  Certificates are not offered for completion of a course.  As with any development experience, learners in a Certificate-Series develop skills to the extent that the learners actually apply the new knowledge and tools that they glean from the courses.

Certificates-Series are self-paced and must be completed within 60 days from the date of enrollment, unless an extension is granted.  Learners can start the courses right away upon enrollment.  The courses and the fee are specified in each Certificate-Series.  (Organizations can choose to collaborate with CDI to provide their own facilitated cohorts of learners in each Certificate-Series.)
