About The CSDR^® Accreditation Process

The CSDR^® accreditation is a web-based, online program which includes a comprehensive, 3-module preparatory coursework, followed by a final exam via a "live sales role play". Applicants are expected to complete the entire coursework in about 2- 3 weeks, prior to sitting for the final exam. Each course includes study and learning of the competencies required to successfully pass the final certification exam.

Each course-ending test must be successfully completed before moving on to the next course. The proprietary BrainX online learning system used throughout the coursework helps each candidate master the content and prepare them for a successful final exam outcome.
