Course Catalog
All CC-P® Curriculum courses were updated in May/June 2023. Other courses will be updated in 2023/24.
The following courses have been developed through a consensus process involving a cross disciplinary group of practitioners. Each course has a corresponding description, set of learning objectives, core competencies addressed and information on the experts who shaped and have taught the course when offered by ACCO. New courses are being developed and will be announced shortly (or are listed as in development below).
All courses are designed to educate or train participants on at least one of the core competencies. On each course description page, information is provided on recommended pre-requisites and the course category with respect to ACCO credentialing. When available, links to view excerpts from online training, purchase the online training and upcoming live events will be posted as well.
