Training Policy
Birkman International, Inc and its affiliated International Learning Partners
are the only entities that offer officially sanctioned courses for
certification in The Birkman Method® and other professional development
programs that qualify for continuing education credits to maintain active
certification status.
Only by attending a Level I certification course conducted by Birkman
International or one of its International Learning Partners will a consultant
be able to represent him or herself as a "Birkman Certified Consultant" and
have direct access to Birkman's proprietary BirkmanDirect® system.
If you have any concerns whether a seminar, workshop or course is being
conducted by Birkman International or one of its International Learning
Partners, please contact us at : training@birkman.com.
