Certification of Trainers

The DSDM Secretariat holds a list of Certified DSDM Trainers. Trainers must hold either DSDM Practitioner or Project Manager level certification before applying.

Trainers must be a DSDM Consortium Member or be an employee of an accredited organisation that is a DSDM Consortium member, to ensure that all trainers are up-to-date with the latest version of DSDM.

A Trainer may apply to be Certified as follows:

1. Submitting a DSDM Trainer Application form, together with a copy of their DSDM Practitioner Certificate and a CV detailing their training experience.
2. If the application is approved, the candidate will be invited for an oral examination lasting 45 to 60 minutes. These examinations will take place on the same dates as scheduled DSDM Practitioner examinations.

Please Note:  Trainers need to be re-certified every 3 years. this will either take the form of an audit when they are training an accredited DSDM Course or a 1 day Masterclass.
