How to choose between them
Do both courses include lifetime access?
Yes. Both courses come with lifetime access. There are no subscriptions and no expiry dates, so you can learn at your own pace and come back any time.
What if I prefer live classes?
The training is fully self-paced. It is built from clear written lessons plus quizzes and slides rather than live sessions, so you can study whenever it suits you, from anywhere.
Do I need a certification to do DEI work?
Nothing stops you starting without one, and that is exactly the problem the credential solves: when leadership is deciding who leads the initiative, they are choosing between people who all care about it. Passing the exam earns you the Certified Equity & Inclusion Practitioner (CEIP) designation, with a verification page anyone can check. Both courses include the exam and the certificate.
How does the money-back guarantee work?
Both courses are covered by a 90-day money-back guarantee. If the training is not the right fit, email us within 90 days and we will refund the full cost.
What's the training format?
Written units with worked examples, a practice quiz and two short assignments each, and instant access to your student dashboard the moment you enroll. The assignments are where the course becomes your own programme rather than a set of ideas.
Are there annual or hidden fees?
No annual renewals, no hidden charges. Just simple, upfront pricing. You pay once and the course is yours for life.
Which course you need comes down to one question
Will you own this programme, or contribute to it?
If you are leading inclusion work inside your own team or advising on it, the six core units cover the whole job: foundations, culture assessment, strategy and budget, initiatives, HR partnership, and training design.
If the programme itself is going to be yours, the four advanced units are the ones that matter: communications and the day something goes public, policy and compliance, the governance that keeps it running when you are not in the room, and building the career the credential opens.
