At ICERT, capacity building is not a one-time intervention—it is a continuous professional journey. Our Capacity Building & Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Programs are designed to strengthen human capital across education, research, leadership, and social innovation ecosystems. Operating under the International Council for Education, Research and Training (ICERT), our programs support educators, researchers, students, professionals, institutions, and communities across the Global North and Global South.

CERT’s Capacity & CPD Programs are short, stackable and 100 % free for underserved regions. Whether you need micro-credentials for promotion, classroom-ready toolkits or SDG-aligned training, finish in 2–6 hours and walk away with a blockchain-verifiable certificate accepted by schools, universities and ministries across 37 countries.
