DEI Training Certification Guide

What is DEI training certification?

DEI certification validates an organization’s or individual’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion. It’s designed for enterprise teams, corporate groups, CEOs, HR professionals, and consultants, helping them stand out and retain top talent.

What are the benefits of gaining a diversity & inclusion certificate?

Gaining a diversity and inclusion certificate demonstrates a commitment to promoting a diverse and inclusive environment. It signifies that an individual or organization understands the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion and has the knowledge and skills to implement DEI initiatives effectively. Such certification can enhance an organization’s reputation, improve coworker relations and attrition, foster teamwork, provide a competitive edge during recruitment for top applicants, and potentially lead to better business outcomes.

How does the certification process work?

Diversio offers different levels of DEI certification at the organization level: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Each level has its own set of requirements and focuses on different aspects of DEI, from basic commitment to industry leadership.

How long does the certification process take? 

The duration of the certification process can vary based on which program you select. The certification process can take from a few days for basic courses to a couple of weeks for organizations. While the exact duration may vary, Diversio provides the following estimates for our DEI certifications:

  • Our company certifications typically take about 2 weeks to evaluate & process
  • A DEI Professional Certification course in an in-person, group setting can take 18-21 hours
  • The individual, asynchronous DEI Professional Certification will take roughly 6-8 hours & does not need to be completed in a single session

How much does a DEI certification cost?

The cost of DEI certification can vary widely based on the certifying body, the depth and duration of the program, and other factors. It’s best to research specific programs or institutions for accurate pricing.

Diversio offers various DEI training courses priced at $250.00 each and an individual professional certification for $1,000. Contact us for a quote on organization-wide certifications.

What industries & sectors are eligible for certification?

DEI principles are applicable across all industries and sectors. Whether it’s corporate businesses, academia, healthcare, or non-profit organizations, any entity can seek DEI certification to demonstrate their commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion.

How do you stay up-to-date with current DEI best practices & guidelines?

At Diversio, we stay updated with DEI best practices by encouraging continuous learning, attending workshops and seminars, participating in DEI communities, and staying informed about global trends and research in diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Will I receive written confirmation that I have completed the course?

Yes! Please provide your full name for your registration and throughout the process for your certificate to reflect your legal name. This certificate serves as a confirmation of your certification and can be presented to any person or organization requiring written confirmation.
