Professional Certification

Certification has long been a means of recognizing the hard work of professionals to be the very best in what they do.

The CDP (Certified Development Professional) credential communicates that an individual has put the time and energy into understanding the unique dynamics associated with the profession and has had the experience of implementing them successfully. Successful completion of the comprehensive course builds the confidence of employers and their constituencies, opens doors heretofore closed, and paves the way for a fulfilling, successful, and profitable career.

Mission

The mission of The Professional Development Certification Program is to train, equip, and support a new generation of development professionals committed to delivering a comprehensive range of development services to ministry nonprofit (NGO) organizations.

Vision

Our vision is to build an international network of development professionals committed to serving God and others through development.

Our desire is to have several thousand trained personnel committed to life-long learning, strategically scattered throughout the world, and supporting organizations in their mission to serve others.
