I acknowledge that I must complete the required pre-course work before the course begins in order to receive my certification.

The registration fee is valid for one person and is nonrefundable. However, we will allow a registrant the one-time option to transfer their registration to another available session within one calendar year, so long as written (email) notice is provided to the CQ Center at least 10 days prior to the course start date. If a registrant provides fewer than 10 days’ notice of a transfer request, an administrative fee of $250 / £200 / €230 per program will be applied. 

It is the responsibility of the registrant to inform the CQ Center of any changes to personal information, especially name, shipping address or email address.

If a registrant fails to attend a course and no notice is provided before the course starts, that individual will be considered a “no-show” and will not be eligible for a refund or to transfer their registration.

We reserve the right to cancel a Certification session 20 days out, in which case full refunds will be provided.

Full attendance to the program is required to receive your certification. Participants who miss more than 30 minutes of a program will need to attend the missed portions at a future program to be considered certified and receive their materials and credentials.

Our programs include presentation of concepts, live discussions, and other group activities, all of which are crucial to deepen your understanding of Cultural Intelligence and ability to help others develop their CQ. Should you realize you will not be able to dedicate your full attention to the session, be it virtual or in person, please plan to attend it at a different time.

By registering for any program, you consent to receiving important emails regarding your course, and other marketing and/or promotional emails from which you can unsubscribe at any time.

For virtual sessions, we advise participants to select a location where the privacy of session attendees and other occupants of their physical environment is preserved.

Requests for refunds as per our money-back guarantee will only be considered if received within 24 hours of program completion and via the appropriate form (details on home page). If the pre-work has not been completed, the request will be refused.

Developing CQ®: Workshop Delivery and Licensing (formerly Train-the-Trainer) equips you to deliver our Developing CQ Workshop.​

Through this program, participants learn how to facilitate the Developing Cultural Intelligence (CQ) Workshop, a highly interactive program that provides participants with an introduction to the CQ model and research. The workshop places heavy emphasis on application for effectively working across domestic and/or international differences. Workshop participants receive examples and best practices for using CQ within an organization or team and leave with an action plan for improving Cultural Intelligence. The program includes a license to use CQ Center´s materials and contains extensive instructional notes for successfully delivering the workshop. 

Our newly structured, 5-hour program (4 hour event + 1 hour prework) is more focused, affordable, and designed to provide you with the hands-on experience needed to confidently facilitate the Developing CQ® Workshop.

Prerequisite: CQ Certification

We strongly recommend completing the CQ® Certification Refresher if you earned your certification more than six months ago. This will help you refamiliarize yourself with the core concepts of Cultural Intelligence before attending any of the Workshop Delivery and Licensing (formerly Train-the-Trainer) programs.

What People Are Saying About CQ Certification

This was an insightful course and gave me the opportunity to think about how CQ can work and be implemented in schools. It is an approach that is not being fully utilised and I am grateful for the insights that the course offered as well as the networking opportunities!

Audrie P.

Cultural Intelligence is a needed conversation in all sectors. This was a phenomenal event and am excited to step forward and pursue further cultural intelligence in the areas of life my feet step into.

Emma G.

The CQ Certification program was very useful to me individually, as it helped me reflect on my areas of strength and also areas where I need to do a little more work. It was also useful in my work, providing me with new tools to help my team and our clients to be more effective in intercultural situations.
