What Our Graduates Say
“You have nothing to lose and you won’t regret it. My team and I tried for a year and a half to apply the model on our own. I’ve read the book twice. The LCD Practicum flipped us completely and gave us the right direction we had been missing.”

Still have a question?
How can I justify the investment for this training?
There are several options for you to consider:
- Use the language and testimony on this site – sharing the proof of impact is the best way to engage others
- Buy the book for someone who you would like to turn into an advocate – people cannot put it down once they start!
- Do you have a professional development budget available through your work? If so, this course should be a no-brainer as your investment for the year. In addition, we recommend sharing with your manager a link to an example of what participants produce by the end of the course, along with all the benefits you’ll receive over the year, and also our page about LCD model page.
- Do you personally set aside a budget for your own development and career growth? Often, like doctors, we don’t take our own medicine! Therefore, it’s important to value your own learning and development as you help others learn. So, what would need to be true for you to invest in this course? For example, would you need to save for a few months, or would a payment plan help?
Why should I invest in the LCD Practicum if I’ve read the book?
While the book does an amazing job introducing the model and providing a few examples, the book does not:
- Go in depth on implementation
- Train you on the new version of the Tools
- Adequately support learning by doing.
We coach you as complexities in application arise and make sure you actually learn the capability you came for. Those who try it on their own often quit soon after because they are unable to fully leverage the concepts and the Tools and they don’t get the results they expect.
What better way to learn the model than to apply it to your work, centered in your organization’s culture, learners, and business challenges, with expert coaching & advising along the way?
Do I receive a Certificate I can share when I complete content?
If you complete the Fundamentals course, you will receive a Fundamentals completion certification.
By completing the Practicum, you become a certified LCD Practitioner with not just a certificate, but a badge you can display and refer to during interviews and career opportunities.
What payment options are available?
You can pay via credit card. You will be issued an automatic receipt once your payment is processed.
If you need to pay via ACH, please contact us.
