de Bono Trainer Recertification Option 2

Attend a de Bono Public Course delivered by a Master Trainer for each course you need to recertify in.

You will be responsible for presenting a segment of the course(s) you choose to attend (to demonstrate your understanding of the materials), and will then need to arrange a time to get feedback on your delivery from the Master Trainer. The Master Trainer will confirm your eligibility to become recertified.

If the public event is a Certification, you are not required to stay for the presentations portion of the course. You are responsible for your own travel, meals, and are must bring your own course manual with you. You will not be charged a seminar registration fee.

If you are rusty, this is THE BEST WAY to brush up.
