We are very pleased to introduce four new certificate programs, launching September 1, 2025.
The landscape for continuing education has evolved and we are responding with a reorganization of the existing Disability Management Practitioner Certificate (DMPC) program into shorter, more focused certificates.
We now have the:
- Certificate in Return-to-Work Coordination and Rehabilitation
- Certificate in Working with Stakeholders in the RTW Process
- Certificate in Disability Management Law, Policy, and Ethics
- Certificate in Disability Management Program Administration and Evaluation
Each certificate centres on a core theme essential to effective disability management, giving you targeted expertise that you can apply right away. Students can now learn and get recognition for growth and development in more specific aspects of the broader field, be more selective and structured in how they progress through their learning, and more quickly gain potential transfer credits for specific BDM courses.
These certificates continue to support those interested in becoming a Certified Disability Management Professional (CDMP) or Certified Return-to-Work Coordinator (CRTWC), and for existing CDMP/CRTWC and other professionals to further their competencies in the DM and RTW fields. They draw from the modules in the current DMPC (which we are discontinuing) and a learner completing all four certificates is taking the same module set as in the DMPC.
We are excited about this change to our offerings, along with our recent launch of new CE courses in “Understanding Reconciliation and Indigenous Relations” and “Leveraging AI in Disability Management’. We expect to have more news about advances in our support for the professional education of the DM and RTW community in the months to come.
