This allows assurance professionals to gain world-wide assurance accreditation at a ‘pace and time‘ that suits busy industry and public sector professionals.
CPD re-accreditation program – to maintain best practice, ensure piece-of-mind for organisations, and ensure the highest levels of ongoing assurance professionalism, GDA assurance accreditations (and verifiable digital badges) must be re-accredited annually via our CPD program.
Assurance best practice – our best practice training courses and assurance accreditations, are empowered and validated against leading agile, portfolio, program and project management best practice methodologies and standards.
