For Certified Trainers
Certification Options
Because Crucial Teams is based on the Strength Deployment Inventory, trainers must be certified to teach the course AND facilitate the SDI.
Three Certification Pathways
- Complete a Crucial Teams public course and Crucial Teams certification course. When you complete the Crucial Teams certification course, you’ll also be authorized to facilitate the SDI.
- Complete a Crucial Teams public course and the Crucial Teams Fast Track assessment. You are only eligible for this option if you’re currently a Crucial Learning certified trainer AND a certified facilitator of the SDI.
- Complete a Crucial Teams public course, complete the SDI certification course, and complete the Crucial Teams Fast Track assessment. You should pursue this pathway if you’re not a certified SDI facilitator and you don’t want to pursue option 1 above.

Fast Track Pathway
Includes

Once you are certified, your organization must purchase a learner license for each person you teach. This learner license includes the learner guide and other materials learners need to complete the course.
