We remain committed to registering only quality-assured training professionals. Therefore, at this point, all registrants have to indicate how they meet eligibility criteria and upload relevant evidence for us to verify.

Eligibility criteria may include one of the following:

• Participation in one of IFC's capacity-building programs. Please upload a certificate of training or certification received from the IFC capacity-building program.
• Participation in or graduation from a non-IFC program or a course of study, such as training of trainers, training of assessors, instructional design, training needs assessment, training impact assessment, coaching skills, or similar. Please upload a certificate or diploma received from any institution other than IFC.
• Provision of a performance improvement service that includes training, coaching, instructional design, or similar, which resulted in a commendation letter from a client testifying to the excellence of service provided. Please upload a commendation letter from a client.

Please rest assured that any evidence submitted as part of verification process will only be used by admins for establishing your eligibility. None of these files will be published on the GLC website or shared with any third parties.

Once you submit evidence of your eligibility, please click Submit and continue to fill in the training professional questionnaire.

Please make sure your profile is complete. Remember to upload a photo and also include a bio. We request that the bio be written in a professional tone, be grammatically and stylistically correct, concise and to the point. You can use some of these tips:

When you're done, please read and agree to the terms and conditions and save your profile. Does everything look good? Need to make more changes? If you navigated from the registration page, get back to the Register as a Professional tab – the system should remember your answers. Polish your profile as much as you need until you’re happy with the result. Submit your application.

At this stage, we will receive a notification that your profile has been created. Our team will review the profile and approve it within 48 business hours (please give us more time during the holiday season). Once your profile is approved, it will be published in the directory of individual training professionals and could be accessed through Connect tab – Find a Professional:

If you need to make changes to the published profile, please navigate to your profile and find the button Edit in the top left corner above the light blue ribbon that says Individual Detailed Profile:

If you own or are employed by the training organization (or a different type of organization that offers training as a second line of business) and would like to add it to the directory, you can do it by asking the authorized company representative to fill in the Organization profile. Please notify us who will be in charge of that page going forward and what's your relationship with that specific organization.

In order to be registered in the Directory of Training Organizations, a company/organization must meet at least one of the following eligibility criteria:

• Your organization is a former IFC training partner.
• Your organization provides performance improvement services, such as training, coaching, instructional design, among others, and these services are your organization's primary or secondary line of business as evident from the organization's website or other sources.

When the organization’s profile is approved and published, please remember to tag it in your own profile to demonstrate your affiliation

Now that you’re a fully registered training professional, feel free to share the link to your profile with clients and partners and also connect with other training professionals to form partnerships, do business together, share your experience and best practices, and get trained or certified by a master trainer or an IFC-LPI TPMA Certified Assessor.
