Introducing CQ Certification for the Higher Education Sector

1 Introducing CQ Certification for the Higher Education Sector Webinar

The purpose of this webinar is to showcase CQ Certification – a globally recognised programme designed for those who wish to deliver CQ solutions within their organisation. We will discuss its relevance for any higher education professionals who would benefit from a research-based, measurable tool that offers:

  • A common language for internationalisation and inclusion efforts
  • The opportunity to enhance staff and faculty engagement
  • The development of a key capability for graduates in our diverse, globalised world

If you work in a university environment, either in academia, administration or professional services, and are interested in becoming a CQ Certified Facilitator, then this webinar is for you. 

During the webinar, you will learn:

  1. What CQ Certification is
  2. What is included in the training
  3. How you could benefit from the experience of this unique and globally recognised programme
  4. How to enrol in our first sector-specific event, held in partnership with the University of Kent

There will also be a chance for you as an attendee to ask your own questions to the panel.
