The LERN Institutes, an intensive, four-day training and professional development session for those in continuing education and lifelong learning, is coming back bigger and better than ever in 2014. 

The 2014 LERN Institutes are April 7-10 in New Orleans.

LERN created its intensive Institutes for two reasons:

1. You deserve academic preparation for your daily work. Until the LERN Institutes, there had not been education to prepare you to do marketing, budgeting, program planning - your daily work. Now there is the professional development you need and deserve.

2. The field is getting very competitive and sophisticated. To remain relevant and successful, our members and customers want more advanced education. At the 2014 LERN Institutes, you’ll discover the most current and advanced knowledge systems specific to our field of lifelong learning.

For 2014, LERN has added two new designations: Certified Marketing Planner (CMP) and Certified Professional Programmer (C2P), to the existing lineup of Certified Program Planner (CPP), Certified Contract Trainer (CCT), and Certified eMarketing Professional (CeP).

Participants register for one of three programs: the Program Management Institute, the Contract Training Institute, or the eMarketing Institute and take an exam to become a certified CPP, a CCT, CeP, CMP, or a C2P. 

By participating in one of our Institutes, you will receive the most advanced information about enhancing your daily work and improving your program.
