People Who chose Disability and Absence Management path
CPDM course curriculum has been outstanding. As an HR professional, I found the office hours and weekly discussions extremely helpful. Not often do you find a group of like-minded professionals, learning and openly sharing their IDAM experiences. Having this hour together weekly has helped me not but also be aware of trends and best practices.

Do I take a final exam to earn the designation?
All quizzes, exams and assignments are included. Although you will have mid-terms and finals for each individual course, (CPDM1, CPDM2, and CPDM3), you do not need to take a cumulative exam at the end of the final course (CPDM3).
What if I miss a live webinar?
If you are taking CPDM in live instructor led format and you are unable to attend the live event, you will have access to a recording of the live instructor session shortly after the conclusion. The recording will be accessible in the class portal.

Yes! We you can switch from instructor-led to on-demand at any time (price difference will not be refunded). You can switch from on-demand to instructor-led, however, it must be before the starting date of the semester and will cost you an extra $50. Please contact us at support@ieatraining.org.
Is There a Continuing Education Requirement?
