If Your Organization Has a CEU Requirement, Attending Training at Conference May Help You Meet Your Continuing Education Hours!

CPI is accredited by the International Accreditors for Continuing Education and Training (IACET) and offers IACET CEUs for its learning events that comply with the ANSI/IACET Continuing Education and Training Standard. IACET is recognized internationally as a standard development organization and accrediting body that promotes quality of continuing education and training.

If you do not need CEUs you can still benefit from taking a continuing education program. Successful completion of a continuing education training can demonstrate to your organization that you are looking for ways to continue to excel and grow. Attendees will leave with new knowledge and tools that will help them to implement change.

Taking part in a quality continuing education or professional development program increases your confidence and knowledge in handling crisis situations. These skills enhance your value as an employee and colleague. The knowledge and skills learned here can help you bring quality programs and services back to your organization. Our instructors have extensive education and professional experience which means you will be receiving training from excellent instructors from a variety of fields. CPI is committed to providing our learners with an environment that fosters continuous learning and improvement.

September 22, 2022

Mark your calendars for July 23-28, when we’ll be in Indianapolis, Indiana, for a week of learning, sharing, and collaborating!

While COVID-19 halted our plans for holding the event in 2022, we’re dialed in and ready to welcome new and experienced CPI Certified Instructors alike to the “Crossroads of America” next summer!

Much like previous Conference events, CPI Certified Instructors will have opportunities to hear influential keynote speakers, attend inspiring breakout sessions, exchange ideas with their fellow Certified Instructors, and even renew certifications or add new ones.

We previously sent out “save the date” information to all Certified Instructors in the U.S. and provided them the opportunity to sign up to be contacted when registration goes live.

We are currently on track to open registration by early November.

Check back over the coming weeks as we will be announcing the Instructor Certification Program (ICP), renewal, and recertification options we’ll be offering as part of the Conference experience. We will also announce guest speakers, Skills Development opportunities, networking functions, and more.
