In order to issue IPQI certificates, the Trainer must attend one of the Trainer courses above, and conduct training in accordance with IPQI protocol using IPQI materials.
IPQI recommends the Five Day Trainer Course. Even more advanced custom training courses up to 80 hours have been conducted and may be arranged at the client's location.
