Certifications
We have two types of certification. Certifications are valid for 3 years, at which time you can renew.
Certified Dialogue Education Practitioner
This certification recognizes that you have demonstrated skills in the Principles and Practices of Dialogue Education and applied them in your own work setting. It honors hard work and a commitment to high quality learning designs and teaching.
Once you have completed two learning opportunities with GLP, you are eligible to apply for Certified Dialogue Education Practitioner (CDEP). You can renew your certification every three years.

Certified Dialogue Education Teacher
This certification recognizes that you have achieved a high level of learning and application of the Principles and Practices of Dialogue Education. You have the privilege of being one of the few trained professionals who can teach GLP’s trainings via a licensing fee.
Becoming a Certified Dialogue Education Teacher (CDET) is a rigorous process. You must be recommended by a GLP Team Member.
THE BENEFITS
