Certified Trainer Institute

The Desired Results Certified Trainer Institute (CTI) prepares trainers to provide Desired Results Developmental Profile (DRDP) teacher training. After fulfilling prerequisites*, participants must complete an eight-session virtual training program, which includes presentation skills training, co-training with institute faculty, and a final certification process. Certified trainers receive access to the DRDP online conference center and may provide unlimited training as part of their job duties within their agency. Maintaining certification includes attendance at quarterly update webinars.
