Certified Instructional Diploma Outline

Enform has developed an instructional matrix identified as the Certified Instructor Diploma (CID) Program. This CID program encompasses a set of instructional elements, criteria, and competencies categorized within a system of Educational Learning Units. Each unit constitutes a compilation of instructional time and learning content, and is rated in relationship to the complexity of the learning content and performance requirements. Each Learning Unit requires approximately two (2) hours for completion.

Note: The CID program has been designed as a Master Instructor Program. Furthermore, a co-certification initiative is underway to align the Enform Certified Instructor Diploma program with a Technical Institute or University with a corresponding Post Secondary program, allowing for an additional or co-certification opportunity.

Note: The CID program is a system designed to ensure instructional competency. To that end, formal equivalencies will be considered by the Registrar (See Course Description Section of this website for identification of Competencies - Outcomes and Objectives).

Note: An equivalency matrix has been implemented to assist the Registrar with equivalency assessment. Equivalency will be granted through a competency assessment methodology - Candidates will be required to provide competency documentation from previous training/educational institutions for equivalency assessment.
