CDEI™ Core Courses

To obtain your CDEI, you must create your CDEI Profile and then complete the each of the two CDEI Core Courses in the catalog below.

First, create your CDEI Profile. After creating your profile, an account will be created for you on Learner Community, and you will receive instructions on how to proceed. If you have not yet created a CDEI Profile, you will not be able to login and purchase the courses.

Upon completing both courses, your CDEI will be awarded for 3 years.
