Where do the ( CDCDP ) programs take place ?
The CDCDP is available internationally , the CDCDP is currently available via live instructor-led remote attendance in multiple time zones across the globe , allowing for learning at times that are convenient for individual schedules such as while on night shifts or outside of usual working hours . There are a number of classroom-based programs still taking place where COVID-19 restrictions and travel allow and there are strict safety classroom measures in place to protect the learners and the instructor .
A lot of our learners are enjoying being able to attend programs from the comfort of their home or a quiet space at their place of work . Remote Attendance programs are designed to fit around the learner and for them to attend from the environment that best works for them .
Since 2017 , we have been delivering programs via live instructor-led remote attendance classes . We anticipated this would be driven by the need to operate in a more sustainable and environmentally sensitive way , we obviously did not anticipate COVID-19 .

We have a full schedule of program dates in time zones across the world that are Guaranteed to Run ( GTR ) with remote attendance .
