This fall, we launched web-based training programs to help individuals learn about and prepare for the Cicerone Certification Program exams. Introductory sessions are free and all sessions are presented through a simple-to-use webinar system that allows high-quality visual and audio content to be delivered live to each participant's computer. Sessions are recorded so that attendees can view presentations again at a later date (up to 30 days). Soon we'll be announcing the schedule of classes for early 2009. |

"Cicerone" is pronounced "sis-uh-rohn"

To encourage participation by those with various interests and ambitions, the program offers three levels of certification beginning with the simplest and building to the most complex and demanding:
