Facilitators
For a class of fewer than 5 registered students, the cost
is $100. An instructor must be named by the education or
human resources (or similar) department of an organization,
and a licensing agreement must be agreed to. The guides have
only been available since the spring trimester of 2003, and
results have been gratifying. For instance, among the September
2003 examinees was a class whose instructor used the Guide.
Of that class, 100% passed the exam — an unheard of result.
Other facilitated classes have seen very high rates of success.

Facilitators will testify to the value
of the
Facilitator’s
Guides
We have published facilitator’s testimonials in the
IDM Quarterly in the past. These are very, very useful tools.
Here is one example of what facilitators have to say:
The Facilitator's Guide really took the pressure off.
It gave me the support and confidence I needed to feel comfortable
about teaching the class.
The Facilitator's Guide made it easy for me to keep the class
on track and focused. If I didn't have the Guide I think
it would have been easy to get side-tracked and not be able
to cover a chapter per class. I wouldn't want to teach the
class without the Facilitator's Guide.
Facilitators Can Get Even More Resources
For several years, all the IDMA certification courses have
been available in two formats – the Study Guide format
for the students and in Facilitator’s Guide format. Facilitators,
who are appointed by their organizations and who agree to security
and copyright standards, use these modified guides to facilitate
study for groups of IDMA students. The guides include answers
and definitions for the Key Terms and Concepts and for the
Review Questions portions of the courses.
Jim Viveralli, CIDM, last fall began the task of facilitating
the certification courses for a group of Erie Insurance students.
Instead of conducting face-to-face meetings, Jim conducts online
sessions. As part of the effort, he developed PowerPoint slides
for the courses. Because developing these slides is no small
task, Jim recruited volunteers in the IDMA Education Committee
to develop PowerPoint slides for the remaining courses as well.
The slides are available to share with registered facilitators
who have obtained the facilitator’s guides and who have
agreed to security and copyright standards.
