These live sessions will be held through Zoom meetings, using several of Zoom’s interactivity tools to encourage participation. You will need to download the Zoom app onto your computer and have enough internet bandwidth that you can run the Zoom program smoothly.

The week before the events you will be receiving an email with a zoom meeting invitation to each course you are attending, ie. if you are attending all three certification courses, you will receive 3 separate emails from us inviting you to each respective course. Each email will include a link to that course’s zoom meeting as well as dial-in information. Please accept the invitation(s) so we know that you have received the Zoom meeting information. Also, we will be opening the zoom meeting approximately 15 – 20 minutes before the beginning of the course so everyone can be online and ready at the course’s start time.

Cultural Intelligence

Please note that you will receive emails from us that will contain the links to provide you with access to the pre-course work and course materials that you will need for the CQ Certification, CQ Train-The-Trainer and Unconscious Bias Train-the-Trainer courses. Because certain participants are only taking certain courses, we had to provide a separate link for each of the course materials. Therefore, you will need to click on each individual link in order to populate each course’s materials into your CQ Portal.

All pre-course work must be completed before you begin your certification course. You will not receive your certification until all e-learning has been completed. The pre-course work should take between 3-6 hours total.

If you are attending multiple programs, please complete the CQ Certification pre-course work first! It is vital to your understanding of the CQ concepts that you complete the CQ Certification pre-course work before completing the CQ Train-The-Trainer and/or Unconscious Bias Train-The-Trainer pre-course work.

Please note that the order of the coursework found under My Resources in your CQ Portal will likely be opposite to the order you should complete it, ie. the CQ Certification materials will at the bottom of the page. Scroll down on the My Resources page to find each group of materials.
