IDM Course Schedule
The IDM Program is a comprehensive “continued education” set of courses for acquiring developmental thinking and listening capabilities. It is based on a stepwise approach taking about 1 year to master. The curriculum comprises an overview course (Gateway), an introduction to social-emotional development (Module A), an introduction to cognitive development (Module B) and to understanding clients from a work place psychology perspective (Module C).
