Training Partnerships & Continuing Education
In addition to our Training Sponsors and Approved Providers for Recertification, NDC has numerous partnerships across the country, many of which may offer a discount on NDC Training courses. We encourage you to check with your organization to see if they have a current partnership agreement with NDC.
NDC is proud to collaborate with the following organizations to provide high-quality professional development:
The Carsey School of Public Policy at the University of New Hampshire and NDC have established a partnership to leverage your NDC Professional Certification into credits toward a Master’s Degree in Community Development. The Carsey/NDC Graduate Credit Award Program expands educational and credentialing opportunities for professionals currently working or seeking a career in economic, housing, and community organizations. Students who have earned an NDC Professional Certification may be eligible to receive up to six (6) graduate-level credits (2 courses) while enrolled in the Master in Community Development (MCD) program at the Carsey School of Public Policy.
Students accepted or enrolled in the MCD program are also eligible to receive a reduced rate on NDC courses when pursuing certification as an Economic Development Finance Professional (EDFP), Housing Development Finance Professional (HDFP), and/or a Rental Housing Development Finance Professional (RHDFP).
Join us on Tuesday, January 25, 2022 12:30 PM – 1:00 PM EST for an information session covering the Carsey School MCD program and the NCD Professional Certification program. MCD Program Director Michael Swack and NDC Senior Director and Training Manager Tom Jackson will discuss this unique opportunity serving both NDC alum and Carsey School MCD students.
