Professional Development Program 2020
Certifications
The Professional Development Program (PDP) offers certifications recognized around the world. Most certification sequences are composed of four sharply focused courses and most can be completed in a single year or in as many as four years. You may wish to pursue a certification that requires a course or courses that cover material with which you are already familiar by virtue of your experience or prior education. We would be happy to assist in course selection that best suits your experience and education.
Courses
PDP offers three-day courses that can be taken individually or in a series to complete a certification. A pre-course assignment must be completed before each class begins, and homework or group work will be assigned each of the first two evenings. Because of the intensive work and study preparation, you may attend only one course per three-day session.
