Both one and two day courses offer preparation training with the two day option providing more time for hands on activities and time to take the exam in the afternoon of Day 2.
Our courses are fun, engaging and educational and the first and most important thing to stress is not to be scared of the tests. We will help you prepare for success!
What is the format of the certification process and our 'preparation training'?

Based on numerous successful engagements running the certification course with schools and colleges worldwide we have developed what we feel is the optimum process to help get candidates through the certification process quickly and successfully.
Setting expectations

In terms of the time needed to complete the certification process this will vary from individual to individual. Our goal is that you be prepared to begin your exams by the end of the course day and pass them. Many of participants leave and share with our new PLN that they have successfully completed one or more of the exams. It is important, however, that you prepare adequately and make sure you have reviewed all of the training materials. The Pre~certification boot camps are not an introduction to Google Apps for Education. It is expected that attendees have baseline working knowledge of at least gMail, Google Drive, and the Chrome browser.

Street Address: 214 Main Street
City: Southport
State/Country: Connecticut
Proposal Deadline:
Event Details: August Hunt is a 22-year old student majoring in Fine Arts at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York City and has grappled with learning differences since a young age. Through the guidance of family, teachers and other educators, Hunt was mentored through the difficult learning and social years of middle school and high school. However, it was his truthful acknowledgement of these differences that ignited his inner self to embrace who he is, knock down preconceived barriers, and steer his own personal journey in learning and education.

•Hunt's own story is unique to him yet he can empathize with families and other children who share such differences.
•Hear how today's assistive technology is crucial to our LD learners and not just "screen time."
•Embrace your creative self – don't diminish your talents for art, music, writing – there is opportunity out there for you too.

At the core of this lecture is a message of personal empowerment, academic success, and educational revolution for people who think differently. The presentation also will provide practical, accessible tips for academic success.

From being unsure to igniting hope, Diplomats are living proof that for a young person with LD/ADHD, first finding your voice and then giving it bold expression creates a chain of confidence that changes the world. When you can believe in yourself as a Different Thinker, as these Diplomats encourage others to do, you can see yourself as an equal... to anyone.

We recommend lecture for ages 11 and older. Coffee will be provided.
