CDI uses a Team of Certification Writers and Coaches who have extensive experience teaching in the academic arena on university and post-graduate levels for many years and possess top industry certifications and awards. The Certification Team oversees the testing process and assures quick and accurate test results.

Continuing Education Units (CEUs) are necessary to keep CDI members on the cutting edge of the employment industry. Earning CEUs is easy and only requires time and a desire to learn and contribute.

The CDI Certification Team encourages you to earn CEUs outside your particular field of expertise, but recognizes all efforts made to achieve continuing education. CDI recognizes most CEUs based on actual classroom hours (online or in person) for any particular training or outside activity. For example, we encourage you to attend the CDI Annual Convention which nets at least 14 CEUs. However, we recognize other annual industry conferences and transfer those CEUs directly toward your continued training.

The CDI Certification Team recognizes other ways to earn CEUs (ex: writing articles, writing a synopsis of an industry related book, etc.) and encourages your creativity when submitting outside work for CEU credit. Simply submit CEU verification to info@careerdirectors.com when signing up for renewal.

For more information on any of the above certifications or renewals, contact CDI at info@careerdirectors.com or 321-752-0442 / 888-867-7972.
