Note: When a Corporate Certified Lateral Thinking Instructor leaves their employer, their employer may replace that individual (certify another corporate employee) within 12 months and save $1,000 on Lateral Thinking Certification.
Independent Certified Lateral Thinking Instructors
Independent Certified Lateral Thinking Instructors are consultants or trainers who have their own businesses and provide Lateral Thinking training courses and services to their clients.
Lateral Thinking Certifications are led by highly qualified Master Trainers who have demonstrated expertise in two distinctly different areas:
-
They have repeatedly demonstrated a very high level of competence in developing others in the de Bono methods across various industries/companies/professions
-
They have developed the capability to train instructors to teach the tools to others

- Participants complete assignments each evening, which include reading and preparing practice sessions and facilitations.
- A number of assigned practice sessions and facilitations are conducted throughout the Lateral Thinking certification.
